I didn't have a pattern when I made Bears in Bed. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-48957-1.htmOriginally Posted by theresa.redington
Really love this patter, maybe because I love bears! But anyways, I like the brown sashing the best! What a great pattern for babies or younger kids. Where can one find this pattern?
I just made squares I liked and drew out bear faces and machine appliqued them on. It is really fun to do because you know your quilt will be different from what anyone else will do. The bears here are much cuter than the ones I did.

I agree.Originally Posted by KellyK
I think I'm the minority vote; I think the yellow/orange dotted fabric would really pull them all together perfectly as almost every block has a bit of yellow on the bears themselves if not their quilts.It is going to be a fabulous quilt any way you go!
Love the quilt. It will be great what ever way you do it.

Sashing would look awesome in either the blue or the white print for contrast. You might experiment laying the yellows diagonally, since you have more of those. Just so cute. I love the bows.

The brown sashing is nice, even thought I love blue. I would place them boy/girl/boy. To put them rows of boys/rows of girls would make the quilt look stripey. As for the setting of the individual bears in each row - my rule is to lay out the squares, look, then squint. The squinting helps me see if one color is too much in one place or too much pop in one area - then I move them until everything seems balanced. How's that :)
