Dancing Bears Quilt

I had 2 kits that were designed to make throw pillows along with some matching yardage. I decided I didn't want to make the pillows so I took the kits apart and sorted through the fabrics. In the end, I had a little more than 1 yard of each of 3 different prints. So I got out my 3-yard quilt books and found a pattern that I thought would be great to use with the fabrics. The pattern is called Dancing Bear. Since there are trees and bears on the prints it felt appropriate to do a bear paw type quilt block. Like the bear is in the woods - haha!

The 3-yard quilt books have a different technique for binding than I usually use. Their version uses less fabric so I didn't have enough fabric left over to do it my way. So I found some green fabric in my stash that matched very well to use as binding and there was enough to use for backing as well.

I longarmed the quilt using a leaf pattern that complemented the tree prints. I like how it looks on the green background.

I will add the quilt to my stash for craft fairs. I can usually sell a few quilts when I vend at a lower price point so this one will work for that purpose.
