Cot Quilt cute animals
 

Hi Started to embroider some cute baby infant animals for a cot quilt 26"x 32" and a separate floor rug quilt with extended boarder area that could be used as a floor rug to roll on..this has designs that are fully embroidered and have about 20K stitches per block 6"x6"..This will be a picture window with animal skin tones as the dividers..the second will be 54" x 62" approx in size inner green boarder with more square animal blocks trimmed with animal skin tones zebra-tiger-giraffe around the boarders and to finish it will have a diamond pattern quilt edge about 3" in width with a black half inch finish trim... the outside blocks will be same animals but in different positions plus corner the blocks will have embroidered black and tan Africa symbols with zebra skin inserts, green blocks with bamboo foliage embroidery and probably several more idiosyncrasy's as I go along ...It may take a little while to get through and assemble as I'm still putting the Queen of Egypt quilt together .Zoo

I am s ure you will accomplish this one in good time. This panda is to die for cute. I would be using him as the center block.

Hi juliasb..The panda is cute but I will be using this tiger cub for the center block....Zoo

Hey These are the 4 tribal blocks I will use in the corners of the large floor rug quilt....Zoo

Hey This guy looks like he's up to mischief its one if eight designs I'm using on this small cot quilt.....Zoo

Hi Put a few of the blocks together ....Zoo

Hi I have a few different blocks I will be playing with to get a finish set....Zoo

Hi Got a bit more done still have to embroider two outside panels waiting on several fabrics to finish as were are still in lock down ....Zoo

Hi Got some more animal fabric We are in a Covid 19 lockdown where I live probally for another 3-4 weeks off it.....before can get to retail outlets and just have to wait for postal deliveries which are slow but here's a bit more of the internal borders.....Zoo

it is going to be a fabulous quilt. Those animal designs and fabrics are perfect together. I've seen animal print fabrics and didn't know how to work them into a project.

Thanks for some beautiful inspiration!

Hi Rhonda K Most people use window effect with dividers as looking through to outside-inside ...I like a different outcome and hopefully, it can be unique in design..I would embroider in preference to using a print...but each to their own
Have a nice day .... Zoo

That is turning out nicely. I do love the curved sewing, and the animal prints border tie it all nicely. I've managed to collect quite a bit of animal print fabric, it just appeals to me.

Hi Cathy I'm really partial to animal fur-skin print ..I would embroider it but it would take days to do just one of the skins...has taken a new learning experience sewing around the curves..have had to unpick some and try again but I'm getting the hang of it.
Have an Africa plains scene in mind with tribal markings

Where did you get the pattern? It is one of the cutest I have seen!

Hi lorimax5859 The article on this embroidery panel quilt - My very own Zoo - in from magazine Exciting Machine Embroidery &Textile Art Vol20 #12 This would not have been circulated in the USA and is about 15 years old....I have been slow to complete this embroidery quilt as we have been lockdown in our State with Covid and haven't been able to get fabrics to finish the quilt Zoo

Hi Jean...The Sue Box embroidery files only do the centerpiece..The extra animal skins and embroidery panels, the terracotta surround is diamond quilted finish are separate as the project as is produced by the article in the magazine..I would recommend purchasing the Sue Box PFD for the cutout of shapes makes it a lot easy to get it right. When you purchase the files there are some that are not in the download you will have to look on the site to find them as a free download.....The files should contain animals-boarder files -African designs-foliage ect . Zoo

Cute animals
 

One i did 10 years ago, still using.

Hi Haven't been to work on the animal quilt recently but was able to get a few hours into cutting borders and sewing some together, hope to finish it early new year ...Zoo

Hi Have finished the crib quilt, have still to edge the floor rug as a matched set..used a carousel set for stipple on the back

Love your quilt. Now that I have so many other utility quilts made for myself and family, I think an embroidery quilt would be fun to do. Yep, they do take time!

This is coming out so cute!

It's taken a long time but the edge binding is finished on the floor and crib blankets. Probably give them to my niece as she has a 3-year-old..girl, most likely in a bed now.

I have a small collection of animal skin-fur collection for future projects, some times they are hard to find when wanting for a project
