OK, so here was the game I played with myself today!! I would do a task; like vacuum, dust, or mop floors...then?? I could make a Bear paw block!! So, here is where I am right now: nine Bear paw blocks, lots of clean floors, mirrors and meals made. TADA!!!
Hee! The games children play, huh??
I don't know why this block looks so crooked...it is really not that bad. I am making a bunch of these too, and using them in various quilts. Using up nine patches that I have had for ages counts as a working on a UFO, right?
Have a great night, all!!!

Of course that counts as working on a UFO! YAY! And those are great bear paw blocks! You go, girl!
Gorgeous! What great color combos. You're a way better housekeeper than I, I only did my laundry and put away the dishes before I sewed!
Are all your blocks going to have the stripe? I already told you how much I like the stripe in the blocks and hope you continue with it.
I "played" a similar game when I was still teaching. I'd set a timer while grading lengthy research papers and allowed myself to take a break. It prevented me from procrastinating.
Love the blocks, and yes, the nine-patches count as a UFO.
I'm loving the bears paw blocks......
Hello Julie,
yes, self-motivation! I play this game, too.
Nice blocks.
:o) Doris
Will you send me the size for the units you are making? They look fabulous!!
Gorgeous bear paw blocks. Love the colour combo in all of them but especially the bottom right one. I think I recognise a fabric in one of them. (maybe?) That's exactly the thing my therapist makes me do; pair unpleasant task with pleasant one and the day will be brighter. Kudos to you for accomplishing so much. Turning old blocks into new one is a great way to clear the UFO list. (Have to remember that one for myself.) ;^)
Your bear paws are wonderful!
That's the only way I get any housework done! XO
I do that too! Glad to know I'm not the only crazy one!!
The churn dash block is a great way to use up 'spare' blocks. Great Bear Paw blocks, too. Wish my house was clean.
It sounds familiar :)
Fun bear paw blocks!

Great idea!
Absolutely! What a wonderful way to use them too!
Love those bear paws! That ticking is perfect!
Beautiful bear paws quilts--hubs had stomach virus Christmas Eve--lots of bleach and cleaning at my house--a Christmas memory for the record books
Tada! Is right! I love the games we play to get everything done. Your blocks look terrific.
I like your plan - but.... where is the pause for chocolate. ha ha!! Those bearpaws are great!!
That was a good deal with yourself Julie! I did a similar deal with myself - 5 items out of the mountainous pile of ironing, then a bit of sewing. I got quite a bit of both done yesterday :-) 10 minutes of tidying the desk (which is chaotic) then 1/2 an hour of sewing. Note the difference in time scale, hee hee. Have I tidied. No. But then in my defence, I haven't sewn either....
