Mod Bear Paw On the Wall

I've had my Mod Bear Paw Quilt bound for about a week, but I wanted to get it on the wall before I showed it here.  Lorna of Sew Fresh Quilts designed this pattern, and she offered it for free in a quilt along this fall.

Lorna's directions were clear and easy to follow.  The hardest part for me was keeping the pieces straight because where her fabric is brown, mine is white; where her fabric is white, mine is gray, and  where her fabric is  gray, mine is blue,  I cut a few pieces wrong, but after the cutting was done, the assembly wasn't hard.  I will probably make another of Lorna's pattern's next year.




Vicki Johnson of Threads that Bind Us ( http://www.threadsthatbindusquilting.com/home.html)   did the longarming, and I'm very pleased with the pattern she chose.  I asked for swirls or snowflakes, and I got both.  She quilted this piece densely because I told her it was going to be a wall hanging.



This will probably be my last finish of 2016.

Very nice! I'm starting the quilting on one of my 'baby' Bear Paw quilts. I can't go fast, because of my elbow injury. The 2nd one is waiting to be sandwiched.
