Baby Bear Paw Quilt

I've been working on my class samples for next term's programme.

One of them is a baby quilt based around the traditional Bear's Paw block.

I put 4 Bear's Paw blocks together to make one large block, and then 4 of these giant blocks make up the baby quilt:

At the moment it is coming out at 49" x 49", but I'm debating whether to put a skinny border on it.

I've used the Savannah Bop fqs I won at FQ Retreat last year.  I think the wee animals on the prints are so cute!

I got this quilt top made in the equivalent of 1 day, thanks mainly to the wonderful Sizzix 4.5" hst die!

It's sooooooo wonderful not to have to spend hours trimming hsts!!

And if folks don't want to make a Baby Bear Paw quilt, they can upsize to a Mama Bear Paw!

So now I need to make up my mind about a border and get it basted, quilted and bound before moving on to the next class sample!

Have a great Thursday!

    So bright and sweet! I am in love with those little rhinos on the fabric. I think the skinny border would finish it off really nicely (would you rather I hadn't said that?), and I especially love the secondary design created in the white when the blocks join. Great class project!

    It is great fun, I hope you skipped the borders and left it as it is. What a fun class it will be.
