This week I looked for border fabric for Mod Bear Paw. I couldn't find the perfect dark color I was looking for. Everything was too blue, too dark, too light. There were fabrics I could have used if all I wanted was to make this a bigger quilt, but nothing that added anything to the design, So I just added a narrow blue border, and called the top done.
It is baby quilt size, but I don't give quilts with lots of white to babies. I'm going to turn this into a wall hanging for the playroom/office. Now I have to decide what to do about the back. I'm thinking about some of the paw print blocks across the back, but that is a lot of work for the backing of a quilt that will be a wall hanging. Need to think about this!
Thanks to Lorna from Sew Fresh Quilts for making this pattern available!

I love the colours you chose for this top Laura. Not that you're soliciting opinions, but paw print blocks for the back would be a lot of work for a wall hanging. It will be fun to see your finished quilt.
Looks nice. Enjoy!
I love the colors of your quilt. It's really beautiful as a polar bear quilt. Love it!
I love your polar bear! He's so cute. How about a fish print for the back?
I'm totally in love with this quilt, the polar bear is so cute! Hope I had more time to sew ...
What a great looking Polar Bear!
That turned out really lovely. Such a lot of work =)
The wee border is the perfect edging and will make applying a binding much easier. What a great idea to turn this quilt into a wall hanging!
It's a great quilt, isn't it? I like what you've done with it.
Love this color scheme! Well done!
