Months ago, all the Island Batik Ambassadors
received their first box of the year.
Inside that box, we all had a surprise
fabric that we had to keep quiet until
our day of the hop arrived.
Well, for me that day is today!!
In my box, I had a perfect collection
for this hop.
What goes better in the Great Outdoors,
than a Safari?
There is a total of 21 prints,
from snakes to giraffes, and leopards to zebras.
Such a fun collection to play with.
You can see the full collection
right HERE.
The pattern I used for
the quilt is my own.
I call it Safari Friends.
It measures at 44" square.
It was a fun mix of piecing
and of course my favorite applique.
The fun little animal silhouettes work
so well with the vibrant prints.
The closest that I could get to
taking a photo out on safari
was a pretty little grassy area.
The sunset made for a beautiful
stained glass look.
It has to be one of my favorite
pictures.
A perfect time to snap a picture!
A big thank you to
for providing the gorgeous fabrics to this quilt.
That is why it is great to be a

ReplyDeleteYour animal silhouettes are adorable! And the sunset picture is gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteThe appliquéd animals are great on the quilt, but I really like the blocks. If I won the strip set, I would make as many blocks like this as possible and then think about something to go between. I think I'd have to go shopping for more of the batiks!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute, and really shows of the beauty of that collection! The animals are adorable. Perfect baby quilt.
