Default Safari Quilt

I finally finished my 4th quilt of the year! I was only two weeks late getting it done. I have decided to do a quilt a month for the year..
This quilt was made using a Lion Panel and animal skin prints or stuff that looked kind of Africa/Safari. Most all the fabrics i Have used have been on clearance or sale.. Sadly, I still can't close the lid on the box that stashes the safari fabric. Guess i will have to make a few more!
It was kind of a design as you go quilt. Or design while i lay in bed awake at 4 am !
It is about 119" tall by 110" wide. I used Glide 40 on top and Glide 60 on bottom. I use a pantograph on most of it, except the center area and I did ruler work and tracing on it. I used Quilters Dream Midnight black for batting. I love that stuff! Never any issues. I backed it with a leopard print.
Let me know what you think!
Happy viewing.

You did a great job incorporating the panel in the middle and on the corners of the border. Good job !

this is an exceptional quilt. Your choices of colors/fabrics and patterns are really great and work well together.
