That would be the center of my quilt. I would add maybe some log cabin blocks at the corners and make a rectangle/square, and border it with animal prints fabrics, maybe in some type of zig zag pattern. Then I'd FMQ basenjis all over it! I would use some copper metallic thread for some of it

I'd make it really busy, as that's how basenjis are

Now, what do I suggest you do? Let your imagination go, and let your creative side have fun!

The second one? My brain's too tired after all that creative thinking - I have nothing
I didn't choose basenjis as my stitching pattern 'just because'
I chose them because they are from Africa, and I make quilts as prizes for our national show, using a lot of African print fabric
