Bear Paw Quilt

I made this twin size Bear Paw quilt when my daughter was a teenager in high school.  I saw it in her bedroom the other day while I was babysitting my grandson. She had it folded up in fourths on the floor for my grandson to lie down on!! I told her no, no, no quilts are NOT meant to be sat upon. Quilts are meant to cover your body for warmth. My son had done something similar and the quilting came out of his quilt. So after a lecture from me about the care of quilts I told him and now my daughter, I will not make anymore quilts for them if they are not cared for properly. Geesh, you would think they would know better.

I didn't have a digital camera then, so I am taking a photo of it now, even though it was made about 13-14 years ago. I spent about a year collecting various purple and green fabrics to make this quilt. I even found about 8 of these blocks I had leftover that I didn't use. I think I had figured the wrong amount to make because I forgot about the border. I might just make a mini version of this quilt using those blocks I found.

My daughter's favorite colors back then were green and purple. She now likes brown and blue or green.

I hand quilted flowers in the batik green squares.
