Thread: Bear Paw quilt I just finished (115 X 115)

Beautiful quilt!! I missed it when you first posted it & glad that someone brought the thread back up again!! Great job!

JCL, the colors of your bear paw sounds beautiful. Would love to see pics of it !!

You know, I take pictures of almost all of my quilts but I didn't that one, my son has it and I never seem to remember to take a photo when I'm there visiting :( It really did turn out nice, very masculine. Plaids, checks and dark green prints and plain. I went through a stage there where I made four green quilts in a row. two for sons and two to use up some scraps of green. Here's pictures of the other quilts. I didn't use Hunter green for a long time after that.

Judi, love your greens. My first quilt was greens and pinks and queen size.

oh my gosh how beautiful, You did a wonderful job. The quilting is fantastic. My next project is for queen size bed. a comforter more than anything. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I love the green and so well done! Pink and green are my favorite colors.

JLC, I like your color choices, and love your quilts. Thanks for sharing them. I don't get to do much of anything in green as my DH absolutely hates the color. (He was in the army in Viet Nam) The quilt I am working on now has a little green on the border. I am sneaking it in on him. Maybe he won't notice ???? :roll: :hunf:

Hi, beautiful quilt. You said you quilted it in three sections. For the backing, were the three sections using the same fabric or three different fabrics. Would love to see the back.

I think everyone has said it all so I say ditto. If Ihad a big wall I would hang it just to look at for a bit. Fit for a Queen. :D

OMG, how beautiful! You did an awesome job on it.

That is WAY beautiful! I know you will enjoy it for ever

Loretta, I am almost finished with my latest project which is a pinwheel. It's called the Louisiana and I have really enjoyed making this one. I will post a pic of the quilt top that I just finished along with a pic of the border that goes on this quilt. I am working on quilting it now and will post a pic when I get done.

It's gorgeous, would love to try Bear Paw, yet another block to add to my list!
Your selection of fabrics are beautiful also. :D

Pretty colors and lovely work. I've been thinking about trying pinwheels on a baby quilt that I will be making this summer. Your quilt is an inspiration to get me started.

Since you have the center and borders posted separately, do you machine quilt the center first and then add the borders? I've been reading about that technique and wonder how it really works.

Great job!

Brenda.........no, I haven't tried doing that yet. I only have the quilt top and the borders posted seperately because at the time I was still working on the border and hadn't got it sewn to the top yet. A quilt this size (queen size) I usually don't have much problem with quilting on the machine in one piece.

I can tell that it was a labor of love. It is relly gorgeous!

wow joy what a beauty , did you quilt it by hand or machine ,either way you made a beauitful quilt .nellie

nellie, I quilted this on my brother sewing machine, using the quilting foot and the free motion foot. It was so big I had to section the batting in 3 different pieces to get it to fit in the machine.

:D I really really love your quilt.....

nice quilt........
