The Bear's Paw block is typically made up of nine patches, with each square measuring the same size. The block is made by sewing together squares and half-square triangle units in a specific pattern to create the paw print design. Teresa adds additional sashing and a cornerstone to set off four bear paw nine-patches in one great block!
