Bonnie Blue Quilt
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.

Blue Binding - Love!
Here's the tutorial so you can make hanging pockets for your quilts.

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.

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!
