A scrappy bear paw quilt block made from many teal, aqua, blue and green scrap fabrics with centre squares from matching colours, as well as some rows with centre squares and hearts sewn from pink and berry fabrics. The edge bear paw blocks are sewn in more subdued aqua colours to provide a fading effect to the edges. A single patterned aqua fabric was chosen for the background (edge) fabric. This gave a quiet space for the exuberant bear paw blocks to rest in. Quilt sewn by Kirsty of Bonjour Quilts.

Cushions sewn by Bonjour Quilts from the Fat Quarter Shop free pattern called Kansas Dust Storm. This quilt pattern is part of the FQS's Classic Vintage pattern line and looks fantastic when sewn in modern fabrics (like these Starry fabrics by Alexia Abegg of Ruby Star Society by Moda).
