I had lots of 2" yellow strips left from last year's Quiltville mystery from Bonnie Hunter. But if I needed confirmation that my guest bedroom/sewing room needed tidying I got it when I couldn't find them anywhere! Yesterday evening, having just finished sewing these, guess what ... I found the 2" yellow roll already set aside and ready to use!
A week or so ago I laid out all my bear's paws to date to see what I had and how I could mix the colours.
I still have to make two red pairs and at least one more blue pair, and split the purple and pink combination (top right) as there's too little contrast. I'm certainly nowhere near being finished with this one! I don't even have enough for a lap quilt, but I hope to have some of these units joined into blocks before the end of the year. Next year will see the same quilt moving along with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!

Pop over there and look at all the creative yellowness!
Happy Sewing

These blocks are GORGEOUS! Love the background fabrics too, makes it so modern. Takes some planning to put these together.

oh these are dynamic!! Terrific Marley so colorful
I have always loved those bear paw blocks! The bright colors are so beautiful with the black! It will be fun to see how you put them all together.
Love this idea of combining black and white with the bright colors.
Looks like your bear dipped its paws in honey, lol. They look so wonderful playing all together on the table. Wonderful job. ;^)
These bear paw blocks are just totally awesome. YES!!!
They look wonderful!
Brilliant! The blocks look so fantastic together. They have been good all through the year, but laying them out like that and mixing them up just makes it.
Your bear paw blocks are looking fabulous Marly! This is going to be a beautiful quilt! Christine x
They are beautiful, all bright and happy!
Wow! Beautiful blocks! Those are going to make for a colorful and gorgeous scrappy quilt. I like how you are using two colors for each block. Looking forward to seeing this one grow next year.
These Bears Paws are beautiful, I love what you are doing, great colours and combos.
Those blocks are so unique with the b/w that I won't mind, in fact will enjoy, seeing another year of your bear paws. What a rainbow that will be! Keep up the good work!
