Bear Country

I started sewing after dinner and just finished the Bear Country Quilt.  It will probably be a gift to a family member who just moved into a log cabin.  I plan to quilt it tomorrow. The directions called for paper piecing the flying geese.  I did one section, but just didn't see the advantage.  I ended up putting them together the normal way and cutting them down to the right size.  That was my first experience with paper piecing and I am not impressed.

We aren't big on partying the new year in.  I prefer to quilt the new year in!  The hubby prefers to fish the new year in.
