B. Annie – A Quilt Pattern Book

Sixteen quilt pattern used to make this 88″ x 84″ quilt top

I design and make a lot of quilts. And, just like children, you shouldn’t have a favorite….BUT I do.
It’s this quilt, my B. Annie Quilt Pattern. 

When you walk into your bedroom and see this quilt on the bed, your heart will skip a beat. The quilt blocks are set in white with a pieced leave border to bring the quilt all together. The Bear Paw pattern has been redesigned into Sixteen different quilt blocks, each with a finished size of Fourteen by fourteen inches. The quilt will be 88” x 84” finished size. At a VERY REASONABLE PRICE of ONLY $10.oo (USD)

I had never done a quilt before that was just me! From the colors to the pattern, it is all me. I hear it a bit now, it’s a very feminine quilt, SO WHAT.  A bear paw quilt pattern is so traditional and using it as my base, each quilt block took on its own personality. B. Ann Quilt Pattern
