The animal print quilt made from the fabric Libby sent is finished except for adding the donation label. It turned out to be a cute toddler quilt at 42" x 49". I kept the quilting simple: SID in the pieced rows and chevrons and curvy lines in the print borders, meandering around the animals so no stitching shows on top of them.
For backing I looked through the bins of fabric the PC Quilters have in their sewing room for charity quilts, and found something that made me smile. Lobsters! And I couldn't resist adding a zebra and a leopard print as well.
I'll get the required label sewn onto this and take it over to the PCQ sewing room next chance I get to go over there.
What a cute quilt! The chevrons remind me of the comic strip Peanuts; not sure why!
ReplyDeleteThe chevrons make me think of Charlie Brown's t-shirt! So cute. Isn't it weird how impossible it can be to get the colors right in a picture. I struggle with this as well. Cute finish tho Jan. Happy Weekend!!
ReplyDeleteLobster fabric! What a fun back! This quilt turned out so cute, and to think it was just someone else's scraps to start :)
ReplyDeleteToo Cute! I don't know what kind of camera you have but sometimes there is a light setting - you could set it to natural light and see if that gives you color you like ;-)
