My post the other day mentioned that making a red and white bear paw quilt has been on my ‘to do’ list for years. After a couple of emails back and forth, Lucy and I decided to we’d both make one over a year. I’m going to be making traditional 14″ blocks and Lucy is making baby paws.
Lucy has jumped straight in and made some lovely blocks already whilst I’ve been pondering layouts…
I decided that, much as I love red and white quilts, I would sew from stash instead and make each block in a different fabric with an ivory background so it would be a bit like a charm quilt. But then I discovered I only need thirteen blocks – fewer than I’d expected – so I’ve been wondering whether to use just these colours…
…or perhaps these.
And incorporate this unicorn fabric that I’ve had lying about for a while.

Well this bears watching. I am actively trying to resist joining in here. I have too many wedding table quilts to make and all I have seen today whenever I take a break is more blocks I want to make and lovely quiltalongs I'd love to join. I shall be strong and just enjoy following the bear tracks trail … :) Pat

Several then! Haha! I love a bear paw too but have made a red and white traditional one already – now a multi-coloured one – that would be something…

I'm so tempted to join in but like Lucy would use my LV layer cake swap fabrics but they haven't arrived yet. I shall watch and then perhaps jump in!

I also love your second choice and the unicorn fabric is fabulous. Even though I am very tempted, I shouldn't start another project without finishing a few first. However, I joined the Flickr group as a reminder :)

I like the coloured first choice and the second mix of colour and unicorn.
