So I want to do a fall quilt and decided bear's paw in autumn colors would be ideal. Here is the first block. And may I add: I actually DID NOT paper piece!! Thanks to Donna Rae for her post

Gotta love the bear paw block! LOVE the colors, I always think red and gold look great together!

Found a block of Bear Paw that I had made. I changed it ever so slightly so that the paws are one after the other in a circle, and changed its name to "Follow Me". Someday I will make a whole quilt of this and quilt it with outlines of bears.

Anne

Love the Bear Paw! This will look stunning in fall colors!! Great job!

Susan

Oh, wow!! This will be VERY pretty!! And with bear outlines as the quilting, what a great combo!!

Susan
