The Always Learning Green Bear from May has been exploring his family tree and he has discovered a cousin! Please welcome the aspirational July Yellow-Green Bear to the Beary Colourful family.
If you spend much time with young children on a regular basis, you will know that they love to think that they are “Big”. And also that they are “Bigger”. Bigger than their siblings….bigger than their peers….. bigger then that mark on the wall that shows how tall they used to be.
Growth charts never really go out of fashion, do they? The motifs on them might change but the very simple act of repeatedly measuring yourself on the wall never grows old. And getting taller is linked to some pretty exciting milestones. Especially if you are aiming to beat a height restriction for that ride at the theme park. 120cm was the obsessed-over mark by my kids, thanks to the waterslide at the local pool. Thankfully, for my sanity, my youngest child is very tall for his age!
So, since I strongly associate the colour yellow-green with fresh growth, the seventh bear in the Beary Colourful Quilt BOM series celebrates all things growing. With a garden on his tummy, a growth chart by his side and an aspirational posture, this bear expects bigger and better things. Or a splat in the eye. Hahahaha, poor bear; I think he’s safe enough with no birds on this quilt. Keep on striving, little bear!

At the bottom of this post is a link party. A Teddy Bears’ Picnic. If you have completed any or all of the Beary Colourful Bears, you are invited to link up a picture of each one. And for each bear you link up to my Teddy Bears’ Picnic, you will receive an entry into a random prize draw. Two lucky bears will be offered an exclusive quilted postcard from the Chameleon and me, to be sent anywhere in the world.
And there is someone else I’d like to introduce you to, who also values life-long learning….. the Green Bear! Please welcome May’s Green Bear of Always Learning to our growing Beary Colourful family.
