Crazy Quilt Animals

Molly Mine is one of my very favorite embroidery designers. She makes the most awesome crazy quilt designs. Over about a year, I accumulated these animals and they got pieced together back in February of this year when I was babysitting my sister's 3 dogs for a week.

It is 52x63"...a pretty good couch size. Large meander in the border. no quilting in the sashing but an X in the cornerstones. I did SID around the blocks.

I went around the animal...and through some of it in the body...and then just made various lines in the background.

I usually use the colors she suggests and they turn out really cute.

And i had a great colorful fabric for binding that had some dark brown in it.

This is the back. i have no recollection where that fabric came from.

It has animal sound words in the blocks

And, there was some leftovers from the back, so i am embroidering some animals to go with the sounds and will make a child's quilt.

I used Glide Ivory for the top and Bottom Line Beach for the bobbin.
