2 wks ago I won this partial panel from Melissa who blocks at Pack Rat With a Plan. I'd swear I had this one in the past, and who knows I may still have it hidden somewhere. The first step in putting these bears into a quilt was to cut the bears apart. That gave me 10 of them, I'll use 9 of them (the 5 large and 4 of the small ones) in the finished quilt.
My current plan is to work with the bears in a free-form, scrappy log cabin type of block. Because of the way the panel was printed, the sides of the bears aren't straight as cut. So a touch of the bears might end up cut off with the sewing. I'm planning on making a dent in the lighter colored blues that I have in my scrap stash. Might go into the medium blues depending on how far the lights go (not a lot of them) or see what I've got in the way of light colored FQ's.
I'm planning on trimming the blocks to a consistent size using my 15" ruler. The block on the right is the first finished block and gives the idea what I'm looking to do with all of them.Gratitudes:
1. For other bloggers who share their stash.
2. for having a stash of scraps to play with as I work on various quilts.
