The original size of the "At The Zoo" Panel by Henry Glass is 24 x 44. To me that is a very odd size. When you get it there is a turquoise blue polka dot border all around. For a girl, you might want to leave that and work from there. For a boy, I really wanted to do more of the bright primary colors. I cut off the turquoise and cut off the sections with the pandas and the monkeys. I then re-attached the pandas and the monkeys eliminating some of the white border that was in between them and the main panel. After putting them back on, I added the 2 red border strips. I then added white, prairie points and another white border. Using the same idea and panel for a girl, I would add a bright pink, bright yellow, turqoise and a pretty mint green in prairie points. None of the points are made with solids. You could use things with girly prints. Look in your stash and if you need any fabric for prairie points you would only need a FQ. Hope this helps.
