Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2017 complete. Bear Paw is one of my favorite patterns. I started this in January 2017 and finally finished in St. Patrick's Day 2018. It is the most heavily hand quilted piece I have ever done. Every block is a different fabric from my batik stash. The background is a beautiful soft color from Wilmington called Paisley cream aqua and is no longer made. The backing is pieced from a Fireworks batik and the binding is simply the backing rolled over to the front. I purchased wonder clips from Amazon and they were so much better than using pins to hold the binding.......I wasn't constantly poking myself as I turned the quilt. I have just draped it over my sofa so I can look at it every time I pass by. I love it.
What a finish! The Bear Paw blocks look beautiful and I love the small coloured squares that you breaking up the sashing.
