Serengeti

This quilt is made using animal print batiks from a group of pre-cuts called “Wild Things” by Island Batiks. This large quilt, 84”x100”,was fun to make and was sold on http://www.ebay.com. I have more of the same batik pre-cuts and would be happy to make a similar quilt for someone who is interested. By using that group of pre-cuts I was able to get a real scrappy assortment of animal prints. I did however add in a few pieces from my personal stash just to round out the colors a little.

I chose to quilt this using an edge to edge abstract flames design. I thought the pattern looked a little like waving tall grass. I think it worked well with the fabrics.

Because I didn’t have enough of one fabric to complete the backing,I used two! For interest,I cut each into two parts and put them back together again in a four patch design.
