About this pattern

TECHNIQUE - PLEASE READ FIRST: RAW-EDGE FUSIBLE APPLIQUE

This is a raw-edge fusible applique pattern. The templates print at FINISHED SIZE with NO seam allowance and NO dashed turn-under lines, and they come as numbered full-size layout sheets - not as separate cut-out pieces. You trace each shape onto paper-backed fusible web, iron it to your fabric, cut on the drawn line, peel, press it in place, and stitch over the raw edge with a blanket or narrow zigzag stitch. Paper-backed fusible web is required. This is NOT a turned-edge / needle-turn pattern, and there are no dotted seam-allowance lines to turn under.

Warm golden oranges and burnt ambers sweep across the broad forehead and muzzle, while deep indigo, violet, and midnight navy pool around the eyes and chest, and flashes of hot pink, teal, and crimson add fire to the shaggy fur. The bear's amber-ringed eyes gaze steadily forward from the white background, commanding attention with quiet power and wild dignity. Every triangular piece is a fabric decision waiting to be made, making this an endlessly satisfying project for quilters who love playing with colour and contrast in a bold folk-art style.

🌿 Thank you for supporting a small independent quilt-pattern studio. Happy stitching - there's always something bright and beautiful on the way at WildbloomQuilts. 🌸

Every pattern in this shop is my own work, from the first line to the last page. I draw each design by hand as an original vector illustration in Adobe Illustrator, then develop it into a ready-to-sew applique pattern - every cutting line, every fabric colour, every template page and instruction. Each one takes time and a lot of care, and I hope that comes through when you stitch it.
