I recently bought the Accuquilt BOB bears paw die and I'm going to try it soon. I love the new modern take on bears paw. Your quilting is fabulous.

I made bear paw blocks as my Rainbow Scrap Challenge project three years ago, sewed them into a lap quilt, and called it "Rainbow Bears' Square Dance".

The hardest part was picking out the colors. I was concerned that the center of my quilt might present as too dark, but in the right light, the dark teal is just fine. Thank you, Sandra, for the opportunity to try out this fun quilt. And, yes, the song "Waltzing with Bears" went through my head the whole time, bringing back some wonderful memories of my children when they were little. They are all grown up now and on their own, but every time I look at this quilt, I will remember those special days.
