The last day of school is tomorrow! I got all the teacher quilts done in time (the last one went to school today!) but I'm behind in posting. This one is for the PE teacher Mr. W, who said his favorite color is light blue.
I've been particularly drawn to bear paw blocks lately and have been playing around with designs using those blocks. This is my favorite of the designs I came up with. I always love sawtooth stars and think they go with everything! I really like this combination of bear paw blocks & sawtooth star blocks, so much that I named this Bears & Stars. Not super original or creative, I know!
All fabrics are Island Batik, including the solid black background. The colors aren't coming through gretat in the photos, but the bear paws are a light blue (Sky) and the stars are white with blue designs. The Irish Chain blocks are a blender called Blue with Wavy Dots. I cut everything with my Accuquilt.
I'm excited to use this design again, maybe in some bolder colors.
You can't really ever go wrong with Sawtooth stars in my opinion. Paired with the bear paw blocks and a bit of an Irish chain and this is a really delightful design! Congratulations on getting all the quilts made in time!!
ReplyDeleteBear Paw blocks, stars and an Irish Chain are perfect. Love it and congrats on another year done!
ReplyDeleteI love this design! I made a bed-sized Bear's Paw way back then I first started quilting, and ithat block is still one of my favorites. The additions you added to the design work really well. I'm sure he will enjoy the quilt for many years!
