Three Bears Free Quilt Pattern by Bethany Fuller
Three Bears surrounds a scenic center panel with framed storybook pictures and print blocks in a 54-inch-square quilt. Bethany Fuller's design uses the Three Bears collection by Paul Meisel, including scenes of Goldilocks and the bears. Coordinating animal-track, checker, and solid fabrics frame the smaller pictures, while white strips separate the block surround from successive borders. The instructions include fussy cutting, framing the blocks, and measuring the borders before quilting and binding.
