Ok, so we decided a while ago that the nursery theme for our baby would be Ferngully, raniforest, whether it was a boy or a girl. We would just tweak the theme a bit depending on the gender -more flowers and fairies for a girl, more colourful birds and frogs for a boy... you know.
So, I was thinking about exactly HOW I was going to do my quilt, and I rememberd that I bought this FANTASTIC fabric sometime over a year ago, lol! I have three identical pannels, about 30x40", I guess, and I think instead of using the whole panel as a quilt, I will use elements from this and applique them onto a different background. I have some other totally awesome tropical flower and leaf fabrics that I can use in the quilt too... oohhhh, I'm getting so excited now!!!
I'm going to paint a mural on the wall, in the corner where the crib will be, with scenes and elements from the movie ferngully, and I really want the whole room to blend, I think this is going to be great!!!
Any feedback or suggestions would be much appreciated, I have never worked with applique before...
P.S. the colours are brighter IRL :)

That is a cute panel. A rainforest theme sounds wonderful! You are so talented, I'm sure that whatever you do will look wonderful.
When we had our kids I was too broke to do any kind of theme so we had whatever someone gave us or let us borrow!!

WOW!!! Those panels are awesome!!! :D:D:D
I love rooms decorated as you described!!!
Baby will love these bright beautiful colors in his own private tropical gulley!!!
As to suggestions...maybe cruise the net for other "rain forest" themed quilts? Get a little inspiration... or did you mean help with the applique itself?

What a great choice, I just love it!! The design is beautiful and I love the colors.
Now you have something to do while you wait for the next center.
