The longest part of the giant
Bear Paw process was finding the right combination of fabrics for each quadrant, but I finally got there. Because the lighting downstairs is hit and miss, I thought I'd share closeups of each 'paw' so that you can get a better sense of just how diverse the fabric selection is. You can get even better closeups if you click on each image.
Nice bright spring greens on this cold, cold winter's day.
Orange and yellow, heading towards tan at times.
This one is still showing up a little muddy but they are all actually quite bright. I love the combo.
And last but not least, teal and blue, with a little red surprise. That's an idea that I totally stole from the designer Giuseppe Ribaudo, AKA
Giucy Giuce, and I love it. That little bit of quirkiness keeps everything interesting. I've tried to find a name for the pattern but haven't had any luck so I'm sticking with Big, Big Paws....M

No matter what the name, I love it. Love the quirkiness too. Awesome job! ;^)
Lots of fun fabrics in your big bear paw block! How big is your quilt?
These blocks are delightful. I especially like when you throw in a little “surprise” fabric that wasn’t an obvious pairing with the other fabrics in the block. I think it will add extra sparkle and interest to the finished quilt.
I had no idea how big the paws were until I went over to Giucy Givce's website. You did a great job coordinating the fabrics. Now I will be going down the rabbit hole and checking out his years of posts!
