Teddy Bear Picnic lap quilt

I started this quilt back in April 2016 and finished stitching the binding on Christmas Eve. Nothing quite like a bit of last minute rushing. It was actually a gift for my sister's birthday back in July. Being the avid bear collector for decades I decided the best option was to include bears! For the backing I selected her favourite things; netball, tigers and more teddy bears. The teddy bear fabric on the back came courtesy of a dear Aunt in Dunedin.

This quilt pattern came from a wonderful book, Singular Sensations.

Fussy cutting the bears
One Teddy
More Teds
Setting out the teds and the corners
Adorable Teddies
Ironing the inner blocks
All sewn together
Lots of variety for the backing
Pussycat guarding the quilt
Safety pins at the ready
All done!
