Bear Poses & Rounded Corners | Day 186 A Block A Day Challenge.

Although the bear appears to be posing for a photo,

he's actually watching my dog, Susa before he climbs the oak tree. 

Nearing the 1st "corner" with the batik pieced binding. I

 chose to round off the corners since I prefer that to squared corners.

Hand Sewing The Binding | Day 186 A Block A Day Challenge

Hand sewing the binding for Day 186 A Block A Day Challenge 

following the design of the large blocks on the reverse side of my bed quilt. 

This could be accomplished on the machine 

yet I prefer the look of handwork even though 

it will take a few days to complete.

The Cat;s Meow | Day 184 A Block A Day Challenge

"The cat's meow," an expression referring to something 

that is considered outstanding; coined by 

American cartoonist Thomas A. Dorgan (1877–1929)

4th corner, final block and a bit bitter sweet for

Day 184 A Block A Day Challenge. This green cat/purple batik 

Free Style Cobblestone Block is hand quilted highlighting 

the cats then in a rectangular spiral. Interestingly, 

it will lay over hubby's feet on the bed and even though he doesn't care for cats,

 I still often tell him, "he's the cat's meow."
