Let’s Make a Big Bear Paw Quilt Block
|
Hi there, If you love big quilt blocks and scrappy fabric, I have a fun project for you. My Bear Paw Quilt Pattern and Tutorial (Big Block) is a great way to use your favorite fabrics and make a bold quilt without sewing a million tiny pieces. The big blocks come together using half square triangles, and my tutorial walks you through the process step by step. It is a fun project whether you stick with traditional colors or mix things up with your own fabric stash. Get the Bear Paw Quilt Pattern and Tutorial A little tip for your half square triangles This block uses the 8 at a time method to make half square triangles. Instead of sewing each pair of squares individually, you can make eight HSTs at once. It saves time when you need several matching units for a quilt block. If you have not tried this method yet, check out my tutorial before you start cutting your fabric.

The new tutorial walks you through cutting the pieces, making the star points, and putting the block together step by step. If you love this block and want to make an entire quilt with it, I also have my Scrappy Stars Quilt Pattern available...
Hello friend, I have two new quilt tutorials to share with you this week. There are so many variations to the Irish Chain Block. This one has a wider "chain" and is not made with a nine patch but four patches instead. Great beginner block to know how to sew. Change the layout to create completely different patterns all with this one block. The second tutorial is a little more personal, how to finish an unfinished quilt with imperfections. I finally finished a friend's very first quilt that...
