When Lorna, at Sew Fresh Quilts, generously offered her bear pattern as a quilt a-long, I had to drop all other projects and make this quilt!
I live in bear country, as you can see from the posts here and here.
My progress will be slow, as it is on all my projects. That’s just the way it is.
(Ohhhhh…retirement. Wherefore art thou, retirement?)
Here is my progress so far:

I have wanted to make the Siggy doll since I received the premiere issue of Soft Dolls and Animals in 1997.
Umm…yes…1997. I was going to make the doll for my daughter. Somehow, time has gotten away from me.
So, I have made two dolls…one for each granddaughter.
I think I lost my mind! I thought that it would be fun to alter the simple pattern a bit.
I have a new respect for doll makers!
I tried making bendable fingers…that was tough.
I tried making toes. That was tough.
Worst of all was the hair. Whatever was I thinking?! Hot glueing a bunch of tangled, curly hair was tremendously boring and tedious for me!
Oh nooooo…I couldn’t just buy a wig…or make one. I had to glue this stuff by individual strands.
Sometimes, I am an idiot.
These dolls have more hair than Cousin Itt!
I shall be making a dress outfit for each doll.
Should be a piece of cake.

In yesterday’s post, I showed the Country Roads Quilt Block in straight set quilt designs.
Today, let’s look at the block set on point.
Here it is set side by side and on point:
The next sets are also on point, but the Country Roads block has been set with simplified versions of it as well.
I think my border choice needs work, but that is just personal preference (as are many, if not most, aspects of art).
