I quilted a square spiral. (Is that a thing?) I started with a small square in the middle and worked my way out with random spacing in between the lines. The end result it a bit wavy. I'm not sure if that's due to the quilting or the fact that the top was not quite flat or square.
The bear belonging to all those paws can be found on the back.
I like the colors and the design, but the workmanship is not great and the fabrics are cheap.
Since the bear looks like he's tucked into a sleeping bag I think this is destined to be a camping quilt!
This week I'm linked up with:
Square spirals are a thing, and yours looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heidi! Glad I'm not just making stuff up :)
DeleteThis is so cute! I love the back!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
DeleteHooray for a finished UFO! The quilting looks great! I did the same spiral thing with a triangle before and had the same experience. Kind of a wonky pull it puts on it. That bear looks pretty happy to be finished and I love those bright bear paws!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorna! I've done a spiral on other quilts and didn't have a problem. But this is the first quilt where I didn't follow the seam lines in my spiral quilting and I suspect that's why it got so distorted.
DeleteThis is great! Love the quilting; reminds me of the one I just finished. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
DeleteI love the bright colors & dark background!
ReplyDeleteThanks Emilee! That's my favorite thing about this quilt too :)
DeleteI love your square spiral, what a great idea, I think it works really well... I might steal this :) Visiting from Sew Fresh Quilts, hello!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with it! I like the spiral because it uses a walking foot and you don't need to lift the needle until you run out of thread.
DeleteLovely quilt.....sounds like my time frame for getting finished
ReplyDeleteThanks Maggie! I'm trying to get my other projects done on a "less than a decade" timeframe :)
DeleteLove your paws! What bright, pretty colors. Don't down grade your work! It is fine. Quilts are made to be loved. Camping is a fine place to have some paws. :-) K-
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristy! We are taking my daughter on her first ever camping trip this spring and she really wants to see a bear!
DeleteLove the dark background with your bear claws! That back is fantastic too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stephanie! The color scheme is one of my favorite things about this quilt.
DeleteI have my own longstanding Bears Paw Quilt on the go though it isn't ten years yet! I love your colour choices and it must feel great to finally have it finished. Enjoy - Chris :D
ReplyDeleteIt's a huge relief to be finished finally. I like the quilt a lot so I'm not sure why I procrastinated so much. Good luck with yours!
DeleteThanks Betsy! I love the colors too :) Sorry you had trouble with the comments.
ReplyDeleteThanks Betsy :) You're welcome to use my colors. I'm glad you like them.
