Classic Vintage Bear Paw done "modern"

The fat quarter shop challenged a few bloggers to make

this classic vintage Bear Paw block

any way we'd like.

I decided to mix light value text prints and 

some country floral Japanese prints by Sunday 9am

I made 4 blocks so far and

I chose a few more Yuwa fabrics for more blocks...

Maybe use 'darker' text prints for backgrounds

 and light low volume florals for the 'paw'.

The block can be found here for free

and Kimberly has done a video to explain 

the construction of the block.....

The pattern set can be purchased here;

Free Motion Quilting for Beginners - A review

I've been asked to review 

Free Motion Quilting for Beginners 

This is quite a good book for building your quilting skills.

I was impressed that there were project instead just quilts.

I find myself forgetting how many small quilted projects I make in a year.

I suggest you check this out. It's a gem for sure.

Take 5 Fat Quarters..review

Take 5 Fat Quarters is another awesome book from my friend Kathy Brown
THE Teacher's Pet.
If you haven't heard about Take 5 before,
it is as simple as picking 5 coordinating fat quarters and a background
and voila....
a quilt.

Super easy and stunning quilts.
Again, my to-do list just grew....by 3 quilts at least.

Check out Take 5 Quilts on Shop Martingale for a complete look

at all the quilts in the book.

Great value in this book.
