Pat, before the move down here, Jess and I both got some QOVs made up ahead. Plus we have blocks enough for several. We are both taking a break. Jess because it\'s marching band season and she\'s very involved. I started making myself a king size quilt, actually it\'s an over sized king because I wanted one to fit to the floor. It\'s all cut out and some parts sewn together but now all put into a tote box so none gets lost or messed up. I\'m making Christmas gifts, and some advent calendars, and have the makings for a bay quilt as I have yet another great grand on the way. It\'s a boy this time, we haven\'t gotten a boy in 7 years. In that same time we\'ve gotten 5 girls.
I asked granddaughter what she wanted in a quilt. She said bears & bees and forest colors. SO....I found a perfect panel to start with. I didn\'t want teddy bears or real bears. I\'m going to cut the blocks apart and then decide what I want with them. Yesterday I found coordinating fabrics now to find a pattern. I was thinking bear paw blocks but having a hard time finding directions. Any how this is the panel.
