In 1987 or 88, this pattern came out in a Woman's Day or Family Circle, I believe. My mom and I were supposed to work on this together for my then just-born daughter. Well, she "tried" a block to see how it went together. Next I heard, it was done. My daughter LOVED LOVED LOVED it. It was the only afghan she would use. Each night, she had to kiss each of the 30 bears good-night. It is a wonderful project.
