Safari

This is a pattern that i bought at a quilt show....many years ago. it is by Debora Konchinsky and has 40 animals in it. I changed it up a bit and used the same fabric for all the backgrounds. I hand appliqued the animals onto the blocks and used wool felt. I finished piecing it on November 26, 2012 and it finally got quilted today.

I did a freeehand mish-mash of quilting...swirls, lines, water, trees, whatever.
