What was your inspiration?

I wanted to do a bear paw design for a long time, and at the same time something colorful and fun. This was the end result.

What are you most proud of?

I like the color combination, and most [not all] of the points aligned perfectly. I also feel my quilting works well. I was able to sew straight lines that matched up with the points almost perfectly - not an easy thing to do for me!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Just choose your favorite colors, and cut and sew carefully so all the points line up. Have patience and perseverence. I had to rip seams a few times to get the points and edges to line up and still had a few that were beyond repair due to small seam allowances. Grrrr!!! I repeat, cut carefully, and sew carefully.

Bear Paws is one of my top three favorite designs and the bright colors is a real variation on what you usually see. I'm excited to do my own in bright batiks now that I've seen this one. LOVE IT DUDE,,, keep it going, I love the inspiration.

I love your quilts - you have a good color sense. Triangles are difficult ... so hard to keep the points sharp! I love this quilt - looks great!

Thanks. Triangles are a bit tough to match up, but I am pretty happy with the end result. Not perfect but pretty good for me. :-)
