I really like this Bear Paw block. The fabric in the long rectangles is one of my favorite gold fabrics. It's a fairly large print but cuts up nicely.
This gives me 12 blocks if I want to stop there.
Since I still had so many pieces already cut I made some more blocks. I can either make the quilt larger or choose the best 12 for a smaller quilt.
I haven't pressed these last 3 blocks yet so the corners are curling. I love the print in the large squares in this one.
This one wouldn't lay flat for its photo and will look much better when it is pressed.
And finally, here is the view from the sewing chair. I will need 5 more blocks if I decide to make a 20 block quilt. The blocks are 14" and I probably will put narrow sashing between the blocks like I did on the batik one I made earlier this year and showed here on Tuesday's post.
The block with the blue cross pieces really caught my eye. I had to zoom in to see what the squares were made of. I've never seen 'root' fabric before but I love it - you must have some weird and wonderful fabrics in your collection haha.
ReplyDeleteI did a little garden work yesterday and found a new flower just opening on my Clematis; a big surprise as they all stopped flowering at least 4 weeks ago. Isn't nature strange and surprising - just like your fabrics :) Have a good weekend.
like the splashes of red in this
ReplyDeleteI love the golden fabrics a lot in these--this will be such a warm quilt--love your work on these...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how the addition of each new block changes the look of the whole piece. The golds really lighten up the original browns and the red and blue add depth.

It is so beautiful, I would go for the 20 blocks.
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous! Mr. Muddling is very fond of it, too! I think it wants to be bigger.
