I started to piece this "bear paw" patchwork quilt when my children were small. The fabrics are from 2 dresses I wore when I was a young woman with no children. So the fabric is over 33 years old.
The bold solid colors are inspired by Amish quilts. The Amish don't wear prints, so their quilts reflect that conviction.
I need to cut batting, backing, and binding now. Hopefully it won't take another 33 years to get that part done.
