Bear Foot - a Finish

Bear Foot

82 x 98

Blocks finished at 14 inches and I used sashing that finished at 2 inches. 

Sometimes I've seen this block called Bear Paw but I think the Bear Paw block is different. 

I used some four patches I swapped with the Block Swappers Yahoo Group as well as some of my own I made from scraps. 

I matched up four patches in the same color way and then added HSTs in the same color and fabric. 

I quilted the whole thing on my Plain Jane Janome DSM. 

I freemotion quilted some leaves because I've heard bears poop in the woods where there are lots of leaves.  Someone suggested previously that I should quilt a bear paw.  I'm just not that free motion talented so leaves was as naturey as I get. 

The backing was a nice 100% cotton sheet in great condition from the thrift store. 

This was my June Goal for A Lovely Year of Finishes. I was #24 at goal setting party.  (See sidebar for link to ALYoF 2015)

This was also one of my Q2 Goals (#3) for 2015 Finish Along.  ( See sidebar for link to the 2015 Finish Along)

At the end of the month I will also link up to Julie's Binding Blitz. Also see sidebar for link. 

And today I will link up to Oh Scrap - also on the sidebar. 

Oh, and excuse me if I don't reply to a comment. It seems my email server (csteldridge.com)  is having a problem and I have been missing some emails since yesterday.
