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;
Check it out...
