Baron the Bear

Hmmmmm, I thought I liked this panel but

I'll let you decide.

This is Baron the Bear.  These new sizes are called play mats and they are suggesting you sew a few of them together and then chenille them.  They would be lovely as a mat beside a crib.  BUT, I donate these so they are just a great sized quilt.

 Because these panels are the same size as a backing I inserted a piece of fabric that has every colour of the panel in it.  I wish I had used my head and placed in on the left side and not the right but hey, does it really matter?  Not to a child

 The pantograph is Stars and Clouds from Urban Elementz.  Bear seems to be doing a bit of day dreaming so his head is quite possibly up in the clouds.

 I opted for a brown thread on this quilt.  It's OMNI-V 9081.  I thought of blue but I really didn't want Baron to have visible stars all over him.  It ended up blending well with all the colours.

When I cut the backing for a quilt, I always add extra to the length so when I trim I have the binding without searching for something that will work.  I forgot about that when I added the insert in the back.  I left it there and every once in awhile they is a little "zip" to the binding.  All was well until the join landed right in the corner.  It was a struggle to pull it to the back, but I did it!  

If I could reach, I would have given myself a pat on the shoulder for that one.
