I am taking part in Fat Quarter Shop’s Vintage & Classic series blog hop today and the block being presented is the Vintage & Classic Bear Paw Quilt Block which is one of my favorites. This is going to be a table runner and was stitched on my vintage 15-91 Singer sewing machine.
I used some of the Heart’s Content batiks I had left over from my Spinners quilt that I made last month……yes, I still need to get the pattern finished.
I also had some other batiks, here I added in a purple batik and a dot background. I will make more blocks and probably make a lap quilt.
You know how much I love working with batiks and they are perfect for classic blocks!

Here is one section of the block, it contains half-square triangles…..they are so much fun to make.
Save this for later!
I'll email you this post so you can come back to it later.
Don't worry, I promise not to spam you.
I finally finished the table runner and you can read about it in this post.
Kimberly has created a neat YouTube video that will show you how easy it is to make this block. This is really great if you are a visual person.
You can also find the FREE Bear Paw block pattern here or you can purchase the quilt pattern from Fat Quarter Shop here, it includes measurements for 4 different sizes.

The batiks are stunning as bear paws.
I never do classic blocks, but I like this with those batics and colors very much. It is gorgeous!!!
