This is my UFO challenge quilt for January. Judy Laquidara pulled #10 for the month and this was the 10th top in the to-be-quilted cabinet. It was only pieced a few weeks ago, so it hardly got time to marinade.
It is a pattern by Critter Pattern Works. They had the animals in the border, but I like them in the blocks better. Their's was basically orange and black.
It is fusible applique. I quilted on the edge of each letter and animal and put some swirls in the larger open spaces. went around each block .... across each row.
I had gotten a pile of graphic FQs a while back and used them for the letters. A combination of blacks and whites for the blocks and animals.
It is 50x58"
I quilted the alphabet around the border...here is A and B
and E and F
The goat is my favorite....maybe because of the way i placed him. haha
N is a numbat.....i have no idea what that is. perhaps from another country. anyone??
the X is Xereus....an African ground squirrel. maybe that is its Latin name??
Backing is an alphabet fabric from the stash. used this for the binding, too.
Top thread was Glide Chocolate; bobbin was Highlights Peacock.
I am still working on the #10 piecing UFO.....a flannel top....maybe done in a few days.
And working on the #10 embroidery project....a southwestern design....it might take all month. haha
Now I have to quilt one for my sister.
