You did a real good job of matching the HSTs on each side of the sashings in your Bear's Paw and yes it is still a Bear's Paw. Great Job on those! Matching those is not easy I should know! I have done a lot of those over the years!! That can be the hardest part about making the Bear's Paws.
I love the purple fabrics you used in this also. I have a strong preferance for a lot of contrast so this is great.
