first bit of quilting on the bear paw quilt... haven't decided on the borders, yet

Here is a sample of the quilting, along with a picture of the quilt top

Oh yes, well you could just call it a design element or conversation piece...

Really love your hand quilting, especially the paw print. Nice colors, too. When I saw the mistake {forgive me} I had to laugh. Boy, are we all the same when it comes to messing up! Loved it!!

that particular bear went back to make sure the others didn't leave any snacks behind

Are you going to fix it?

I look at my quilt pieces through the opposite end of binoculars which helps to bring out the "mistakes", misplaced pieces and thing I don't seem to see just by looking at it. I also try to walk away from it for a short while to clear my mind and look at it again to see if I see mistakes. Hmmm. You've got kissing bears!!
