I thought I would never get this thing done!!!!! It is HUGE!!And I think it will actually fit this time! I still have to mark it, then baste it(YUK) then quilt it. I put the one picture in here so you can see how small the little paws actually are . This is the same Bearpaw that I have been working on forever.

So precise. Beautiful! Good luck quilting it. Pictures please.

kathy 05-21-2008 02:46 AM

Just Beautiful! I admire your work!!

sandpat 05-21-2008 04:13 AM

Gorgeous! Its hard to tell about the bear paws in the "on the bed shot", but the look great next to your hand. I would have never guessed they were that small. I'm doing 1 with the FG like that right now...like you...I don't think I'll ever finish ...but the journey is sure fun!

Keep us posted..I can't wait to see more! Love it :D

Joan 05-21-2008 05:51 AM

That one is a keeper! (meaning I hope you get to keep it and enjoy it!) I love how you combined everything (and can't ever imagine doing that many flying geese!--that does deserve some kind of an award!) It's GORGEOUS :!:

mgshaw 05-21-2008 06:24 AM

Those little claw hst measure 3/4" finished. Those were actually fun to make. The Flying geese border I do like , but man sewing that long of strips of them, they got so wonkey on me , it was a chore getting that last border on. : :x I wish I could have made it so I could have sewed them in shorter segments. I can see now alot of things I would have done differently on the construction of it! And yes I will hand quilt, cause me and machine quilting is quite laughable.I envy all of you who do it. :mrgreen:
And I am deffinatly keeping this one!

Thanks everyone!!!

sondray 05-21-2008 06:41 AM

Great job! Love the colors, can't wait to see it when it's finished.

amma 05-21-2008 07:20 AM

Stunning, elegant, beautiful..... I am in awe :D :D :D I would be keeping this one for myself, too! :D :D :D

That is an eye catcher! Very beautiful! I love the white that you used, it adds a crispness to it and I have never seen the Bear Paw done in florals, it's absolutely beautiful, you have a great eye for putting your colors together.

vicki reno 05-21-2008 08:01 AM

Absolutely stunning. I'll complete it for you--it would look soooo good on my bed! :lol:
