Over the past few weeks, I’ve been busy cutting, piecing and quilting this beautiful little quilt for my future niece, due next month.
For this quilt, I wanted to merge traditional with modern by using this Bear Paw Block as the central design while featuring fresh colours and modern quilting lines.
I also have to admit that it was joyfully wonderful to finally work in the colour pink! After making quilts for four nephews, the change in colour palette was like a beautiful breeze of fresh air!
I gifted this quilt away yesterday at her baby shower and I can only hope that she will find comfort and warmth in it always!

Amanda, could you tell me how much of the pink and grey fabric it takes to make this one? I made your Geo Dreams quilt and had such fun with it that I’d like to try this one, too!

From what I can remember, I think I used about half a metre (or yard) of pink fabric and possibly close to 1 metre (or yard) of the grey. 🙂

The use of light and dark is striking, all the more so because you used solids.
