February Quilt Square Quilt Along

Happy Leap Day.  That's kind of weird, don't you think?  Every four years we have an extra day?  Crazy.  I always think about the people born on this day...

Anyway, today is the Quilt Square Quilt Along parade day over at Jo's Country Junction.  This month's block is this cute, itty bitty, bear paw.  I love the bear paw block, so this one was fun for me to do.  I used Triangulations for those 7/8" triangles, so they were a breeze to make.  Be sure to jump over to Jo's to see everyone else's block too!

This is the next project I'll be starting.  It's a gift for a friend who is a University of Florida fan and alumni.  I'm just doing a simple double 4 patch, similar to this one.  The Gator fabric will be used for the backing.

I got a lovely surprise in the mail yesterday!  Marcie at Patchalot Patterns sent me three of her new patterns!  I feel so honored!  I love her designs and have done quite a few of them in the past.  I'm putting "Diamond in the Rough" on my must do list.  I love it!  Thank you Marci!  Be sure to go check out her site...she has tons of great patterns and lots of freebies too!

Happy Quilting...enjoy your "extra" day!!  :)

Can't imagine working with such small (7/8")squares. Really came out nice. Great work!

Very pretty little bear paw block, Michelle! Great job!!
Years ago (I mean YEARS) I made a couple of quilts in those colors for my kids in high school (their school colors) and the orange was almost impossible to find back then. This will be a fun "school spirit" quilt in that layout.

I saw this over there and I just love this block! I think I'm going to use it as the basis for one of my doll swap quilts!
