Bear Paw Mini
Whipped this up last night. I had a sudden inspiration to make Mr. Rich, my daughter's 4th grade teacher a little end of year gift. Last day of class is Friday. Yep, Friday. As per my usual mode of operation, a very last minute project is underway! Mr Rich has a very personal/spiritual connection to bears, hence the choice of the traditional Bear Paw block pattern.
Details:
- Traditional Bear Paw Block Pattern
- Block size 12 " (instructions from "Quilts, Quilts Quilts!!!")
- Finished size 18"
- Fabrics: Alexander Henry prints, batiks, black solid
I'm keeping it simple due to time constraints. This morning, I cut the batting and backing. To be quilted tonight.

Snowball Quilt
This oldie has been gathering dust in my WIP for ages and is finally getting bound. On my fabric store travels over the weekend, I purchased a pink and brown batik print from Hoffman. I had been search and searching to no avail for the red batik used through this quilt to use for binding, but it appeared to be a discontinued fabric. My daughter pointed to the the pink & brown and it worked! I would've never considered it (can't say I love it but sometimes you have to cut your losses and move on). Sometimes it pays to take a 9 year old fabric shopping even if she has to be bribed with a Webkins.

When I think of quilting, the bear claw pattern always comes to mind first, although I had never known that was the name of it.
Good luck with this teacher gift!
