I am really new to quilting and deciding what pattern to quilt is hard for me. I got "Machine Freehand Patterns" by Nan Moore. It has helped a lot. I don't try to do anything except meandering without drawing the design on.

The borders have a clover design and the middle has leaves, flowers and butterflies.

The bears are made from Connecting Threads Mirage fabric. It was on sale for about $3.00 a yard. The dark colors of Mirage have kind of a velvet look, I think.

That is so sweet...and I've thought of using a sheet, too. How was that with sewing it? Also, what's the name of the pattern & where did you get it?
