I am excited to present the completed bear paw quilt. Here's the quilt that lived here previously. VERY different, huh? It's nice to be able to change things up a bit. Here are a few detail shots: I love how the bright blue binding and tiny border pop and bring out the blue in the wide border. Here's the tutorial so you can make hanging pockets for your quilts. Fabric backing faux pas (learn from my mistakes): Pretty feathers! In the picture above, you can see some practice is needed on these bump back feathers - tracing over previously quilted lines can be tricky. But the busy fabric on the front hides the detail and is a great place to practice new quilting designs. Sew on a little label: and done! Is is perfect? no. Will it win an award? no, I almost always do cheater binding (not hand sewn). The piecing had some problems, the backing wasn't big enough and I wish I had done a different quilting design in the quilt body.
But it was fun to make, I learned a lot and it looks awesome in my living room. I highly encourage you to begin your quilt journey!
