I don't know about this...

This is Bear's paw or hand of friendship, and I must say that it is nothing less than a challenge of minutia that ranges from cutting wee little triangles, squares and rectangles and then sewing one small piece to another small piece, ironing the piece and doing it all over 16 times. Then you begin to piece the bloody thing together, which has taken about an hour an a half; the cutting I'd done last night. And I've got another one of these suckers to do before I get to the log cabin block... The photo makes it look surprisingly finessed, but I confess that I'm a touch distracted by the Phillies' game.
