This is a wall quilt I made for my Mom, she loves bears! I purchased it as a kit on clearance at a quilt shop. I did a lot of cutting!! hehe However I also did it a little different, it has two layers of batting so that the bear actually has a 3-D effect, you cannot see it very well in the photo. This pattern is put out by Big Fork Bay Cottons

wow!!!! That is stunning.

I have bought a couple of big fork patterns they look hard... are they easy enough for confident beginner? Yours if wonderful

Great bear!! :)

How cool!GREAT JOB!

Most definitely! Actually it was very easy, the hardest part was all the cutting, just have good sharp scissors! They include a true to size pattern that helps with the placing of the pieces. You should definitely put yours together!

Love the eyes they look right into you.

Great job, bet she loved it

That does look like a lot of cutting! But the 3D effect is terrific, it even shows up in the photo.

Lovable bear. Love the colors
and I do think I could see the 3D.

wow...very cool

Wonderful job!

Great job and a nice pattern. Bet your mom loves it.

Way to go, girl! It's outstanding!!!
I have most of those patterns, but no guts to try them yet. Only have one that's kitted up, so I'd have to make the fabric choices myself. Yikes...don't get me around batiks...I get too distracted...

That is absolutely gorgeous. All I can say is wow!!!

Wow!!!! I love these patterns. I have the wolf, bear, moose, and buffalo to do. I have the buffalo started and you are right lots of cutting. You did a fantastic job!!!!! :thumbup:

Well done, it is very unique.

Great looking wall hanging.

I love it! Your Mom is so lucky! Beautiful!

This is stunning. That bear appears ready to jump out at you!

That looks so hard...and REAL! Wonderful job.

Wow!! how stunning.......

That is absolutely gorgeous ! I have the lion kit to do. Hope it turns out 1/2 as good as yours.

I love it!

Beautiful work, I love your Bear.

I just bought the deer kit yesterday at a quilt show. I can't wait to get started.

Fantastic!!!

What detail-almost lifelike.

Awesome quilt. Your mom is a lucky woman.

He is a beauty

WOW That is stunning

Stunning! He is staring right at me!

Very striking!

Thank you so much everyone for your wonderfully kind comments! She does love her quilt and has it displayed where everyone can see it. And if they do not see it, she points it out to them :)

Love the colors! Great quilt!

WOW!!!!

WOW

It looks like I would just have to touch him. Nice job.

What detail... ooos and aahs!

Wow that is amazing. That fur, what a great look

I really love the fabrics you chose for your bear. I think they're better than the ones on the pattern. I have one started (took a class 3/19, and that's as far as I have gotten). I also like your idea of using extra batting, might try that when I quilt mine. I also have the moose and want to make it next (if I ever get back to working on the bear, that is). Thanks for showing this.
