It looks much better when the rows aren't upside down... |
Pattern: I'm calling it 'Window to Seoul' because the inspiration came from my trip to Korea
Fabric: the background is Kona coal and the animals are a Michael Miller I believe (I tossed the selvage so now I don't know for sure...). Anyway, I got the baby animals and the green swirls as remnants from the LQS and everything else was leftovers (hence the two color binding)
Quilting: I tried out the honeycomb thing with a variegated grey thread and I love it! I will probably be doing this again
Finished Size: 38" x 48" (kind of small, but it's for a kid so I figure that's okay)
The back. Sadly, I no longer have any of those cute animals, that was the last piece *sigh* |
After a quick run through the wash, I will be sending this quilt to the local children's home. It turns out they give every child that stays there a quilt so they're happy to take my donation!
And now, some links:

I love it! You should totally make it into a pattern.
ReplyDeleteI second that, make a pattern!

ReplyDeleteA pattern for this quilt would be amazing! It is hard to let the last piece of a favorite fabric go, but I'm sure that the child who gets the quilt is going to love those animals.
