Autumn Tints quilt block

 This block is a variation of the bear paw block - not to be confused with the double four patch block which is also called autumn tints. Here the large square for each "paw" is replaced with a four patch which is colour co-ordinated with the sashing and cornerstone within the block to give the appearance of a nine patch.
