Pattern Description:

Let's go for a hike in the woods! This sweet little bear is not scary at all. The woodland bear is a friend to have appliqued on a quilt or pillow. He is easy to sew with large pieces to fit a 20 inch quilt block. The modern, stylized shape of the bear was inspired by the just released Once Upon A Time fabric line of Yuko Hasegawa for the very popular RJR fabric company. The pattern as sewn in the picture uses raw edge applique which frays when washed. This results in a rustic, folk look to the quilt.

Approximate time to complete: less than 2 hours.

This pattern includes complete easy to follow numbered step by step directions. There are full size printable patterns for the block appliques. The pattern is written with metric units in parenthesis. If you have any questions or concerns about the pattern please contact me.
