Bear Foot
82 x 98
Blocks finished at 14 inches. I used swapped four patches and then made HSTs in colors to match in each block. I used 2 inch sashing that just might pass for a bear foot.
I've seen this block also called Bear Paw but I believe that is actually a different block. (I'm no expert).
I quilted the whole darned thing on my plain Jane DSM...
...with leaves. (Yes, those are supposed to be leaves). After all...where does a bear poop?
I'm entering this quilt in the Large Quilt category at the Blogger's Quilt Festival hosted by Amy of

So glad to see this one at the festival! It is such a beauty!
Beautiful quilt! Love the paw sashing and the quilted leaves are perfect.
Love the colors. Beautiful!
Every single time you show one of your quilts I think "Oh! That's my favorite!"
Every single time.
Well, I gotta say this is gorgeous. I love the sashing. It makes the whole quilt sparkle. I can believe you quilted it on a DSM. Brilliant, a definite winner.
Very pretty!!!!!
Everything you have used and added to the quilt seems to be perfect and blends in. Hope it wins in the festival!
I really love this quilt! It's just beautiful. I think I'm going to put a quilt like this on my list to make. Thanks for sharing it!!
A lovely colourful finish!
Hi! I really liked the look of this quilt in the main photo. But when I saw the closer photo and better the colours and fabrics I fall in love! This is beautiful and adorable quilt! Paw fabric and your quilting are just perfect for this! x Teje
Another beauty! I'm also loving cruising through some of your earlier posts.
This is delightful!!! I love that you used the little old 4 patch and made it into something beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I always love what you do with fabric. Janita
Oh I LOVE that!! What a great way to use all those squares!! Beautiufl!
Beautiful quilt!
Fun to visit other blogs from BQF!
That is a beautiful quilt! Love that block and all the colors you used.
I really love this one! The prints and colours you chose are gorgeous. And of course your choice of leaves for the quilting - well, say no more, perfect!
What a wonderful and cheerful quilt, Cathy. I think my sister used your sashing in something. She has a more outdoors-themed style. Your color choices really pump it up. It's always fun to see how different people use the same fabric.
And we both quilt gigantic quilts on our DSMs. Glad I'm not the only crazy one.
Congratulations! Good luck.
LOVE IT!!! It's a beauty and a great accomplishment to have pieced AND quilted it yourself :)
This is wonderful! I think you're right, a Bear's Paw doesn't have a 4-patch in each paw! This is just darling!
So much fun with all of those paws. Nicely done.
Oh I love this... great color and movement and the sashing fabric just puts it over the top! Great quilt!
This is a great scrappy looking quilt! I love the paw prints in the sashing.
Beautiful work and amazing quilting. I cannot believe you did that on your home machine. I couldn't help laughing about why you used the leaves quilting. So true. I hope you will win in the festival of quilt.
