its a topper!

This was a quilt I had started a while ago the bear paws was for another one that I was commissioned to make I didn't think they were suitable so designed this instead with the panel in the middle.

I don't normally work with panels and it is a challenge to make something to compliment it...for me anyways. I thought it turned out pretty good.

I was able to use what I had in my stash for the fabrics, bees trees and such. the border has bee honey combs. I was very fortunate it was make it as you go and everything fit together really well with each border. 

we always audition a quilt on DH's brace bed I wish I could get the fabric that is the same as his wallpaper! 

then you get friends that tell you about a fabric sale and they know you just finished a bear quilt with bees. So I had to run to get the fabric of course. This sweet fabric will be the backing. That wee bear checking out the sunflowers was my grandmothers.

 I also had to be creative on a cat deterrent for them using my quilt as a hammock. It works! it is from the dollar store and is actually for garden animals deterrent. They check to see if it is on now and then but hee, hee, hee I outsmarted them. 

It rolls up easy when I want to quilt on the quilt. As you can also see I have to tuck everything in since Meera feels that batting makes a great snack
