Panda bear paper pieced
 
1 Attachment(s)
I'm making this quilt for little 7 year old hurt in an accident and in rehab. She loves panda bears. I need your help. First is it big enough? I'm thinking about adding a row of grey to make it a little bigger. However I don't want a monster quilt. Also, how do I quilt over the panda bear. I just know how to meander and I'm going to use white thread. Do I just keep going over the same way. Or stop with the bear. Not sure how it will look with the black in the bear to meander with white thread. Thanks for any help.

It's so cute, I think it's perfect!

It seems plenty big enough. Just a gray binding is all I would do. I love the positive and negative blocks. Darling Panda.:thumbup:

Very cute and the size looks perfect! I would just outline the different colours and around the edge in the Panda block.

very cute panda...... I would outline the pandas different colors and meander around him in the block!!

Very unique quilt - sure to make that little girl smile. I agree with the others....outline around the panda and between "his" blacks and whites.

Froggiey 08-13-2014 04:35 PM

Ok. Thanks so much. I will change color of thread on the panda. That shouldn't be too hard.

Cute design! Love the panda. Bless you for your generosity!

I think this quilt is such a pretty one, and the panda bear just adds that special touch in the middle. The little girl will cherish it and her panda.

It's adorable! She will be thrilled when she gets it. I agree with the others; the size looks great, and I would outline the panda.

What a cute quilt. I think just a grey binding would be a nice finish. Looks big enough to me for a 7 yo.

What a beautiful quilt and so wonderful of you to make it for her!

Just read where a mother panda gave birth to triplets in a China zoo = good news for the dwindling panda population!

If you want to highlight the bear with your quilting, I would meander the rest of the quilt and then echo quilt the Panda block. It sure is cute

weasier22 08-15-2014 10:13 AM

This has got to one of the cutest quilts I've seen! Love the panda and the fabrics you used to make this adorable quilt. I this just a binding of the gray fabric will top it off! So nice of you to make this for the 7 year old. Hope she is recovering and will find comfort from this quilt. Thanks for sharing.

It's cute and it's a perfect size. Love the Panda Bear.

Aren't pandas for cuddling? Yours looks so inviting. I am sure your special effort will be loved and appreciated by the little girl you made it for.

Where did you get the panda bear pattern ? Your quilt is adorable , I'm sure she will LOVE IT.

Froggiey 08-20-2014 04:49 AM

Got this finished and mailed. Thanks for your help. Did change thread colors in the panda bear and bound it with grey. KrissyD, I googled paper pieced panda bear and used the first one up. I had to enlarge 200%.
