So I rounded up a bunch of hand dyes, with black for the background. I'm started to suspect that hand dyes and black is my "trademark" of quilting. Sure, I dabble with other fabrics; but I always come back to this specific combination.
I'm aiming for my bear's paw to sorta look like something from the Creative Scraps book that I picked up last month.
I'm probably also going to ditch the last border in Judy's version of the quilt - the whole striped fabric that I don't have. Yet... I'm tempted to try a piano key border like this quilt. Will have to think about it.
Hopefully this will also kick away my interest in the bear's paw pattern for a while, because this quilt will be my third time making it! My first time was three years ago, for a charity quilt. I do adore the quilting I did one that one though. :)

I live the colors in this quilt.
I've been following your blog for quite awhile and I quickly recognized your trademark as being black and brights. See, you should have asked me months ago what your trademark is! LOL
I agree. I think hand dyed fabrics and black are your trademark. I can't wait to see the finished quilt.
the hand dyes are great. good luck on my draw.

Leah, What a wonderful blog. I have thoroughly enjoyed my visit. I found your blog thru Mr Linky at Judy's Quilt A Long. You are certainly a very busy quilter. I only wish I could accomplish as much as you have. Keep up the good work!
I have always thought of you as that black-and-hand-dyed girl!
You can never make too many bear paw quilts. =) This will be very pretty.
