Cat's Paw Quilt Block

Whether you call it Cat’s Paw or Bear’s Paw Quilt Block, this is a relatively easy to make block, and quite popular with quilters.

In this version, I have printed my cat’s picture on fabric and placed it in the center of the block.

To make the picture large enough to see, the block is quite large.

Peaceful Piecing!

Rosebuds Quilt Block

This block presents some challenges in that there are curves as well as set in seams.

The rosebud stems are sewn together in two pieces, with some stretch to the pieces, so take care as you sew them together, otherwise you will end up with a  mis-shapen block.

In addition, the large triangles between the rusebudes tend to stretch as well.

This is sewn together as a star, since it has 8 points, and if you are able to press the seam allowances in the center of the block  open, that will help keep the center flat.

Peaceful Piecing!
