It looks big - wow I like it - it looks very similar to a bear paw block.

I just looked for the video and I can't find it - it just brought up bear paw videos - can you tell me who made the video or where to find it?

Oh La La! It is pretty! I see that the main block of a traditional Bear Claw is pieced like a French Braid pattern. It will look very interesting when 4 are put together to form a Square in a Square or sort of Bento Box pattern?
