The Bear's Paw Quilt block is another one of the most beloved traditional quilt blocks. It's built around a 7x7 grid, using squares, HSTs, and small sashing, and goes together very easily. Most blocks are made at the 14" or 21" size, so it assembles to make a large top rather quickly.

Most people prefer to set the blocks into a top with sashing so that the "bear paw" doesn't disappear into the secondary design. Below you can see examples of Bear Paw Quilt Blocks grouped with and without sashing.
