This is my latest quilt design. I designed it as a wall hanging to give to my priest who will soon be leaving our parish for a new call. His nickname is "Bear," he is originally from eastern Tennessee, and he loves the mountains. So I designed a quilt using bear paw blocks and delectable mountain blocks to give to him as a going away present. My original design didn't have the bear paw blocks in the corners. It was just solid blocks of the background fabric. But I accidentally didn't buy enough background fabric to cut blocks that size, so I came up with the idea to add the bear paws and I think I like it better that way.
I will be quilting it myself, and I haven't decided if I will machine quilt it or hand quilt it. I need to get it quilted quickly, as his last day with us is December 4th, so machine quilting is the most likely outcome.
And as something of a happy accident, I think it has a somewhat Native American feel to it, and he is also part Cherokee Indian. I hope he will like it.
