Giant Bear Paws!

The latest issue of Fat Quarterly ezine has been released today, and you just might find me in there around page 46!

This issue is all about Modern Traditional - taking a traditional block or idea and modernising it.

I submitted my Giant Bear Paw Block design, which I have made up into a cushion for a good friend.

I had fun making this cushion from leftover Flora charm squares, and quilting the front and the back in a square grid pattern.

I developed this giant block for a quilt I'll will be teaching on Friday mornings, starting 17th May.
