Fleece Bear

At my quilt guild this month, a teddy bear project was announced. We're going to give bears to the police and fire departments who use bears to give to children who are in crisis situations and need a bear to hold and hug. I bought a bear pattern several months ago thinking that I'd use it to make some bears from an old, faded, worn quilt I have but I hadn't yet used the pattern. After hearing of the bear project, I decided to make a bear from some fleece scraps I have left from using fleece to back baby quilts. This bear is about 12" tall, went together easily and looks not only cute but cuddly as well. It will go to quilt guild next month for donation to the bear project. I definitely will use the pattern again!
