welcome to my jungle- new quilt top
 
1 Attachment(s)
my mother's husband happened to post on my facebook that i was the 'Tarzan' of quilters:D
so, i figured it must be time to make a jungle quilt- i've had 3 or 4 different 'wild life-jungle critters' panals on the closet shelf for years- finally decided to grab one- grab a bunch of scraps & see what i could come up with-
of course it still needs to be quilted & bound- but the top is done & turned out pretty good-
clicking on the picture makes it larger- show up the border- seems to be cut off in the posted pic---

Fabulous quilt. Love how the borders showcase the panel beautifully. You did a wonderful job.

Monroe 04-26-2012 02:56 PM

I Love it! What a great way to frame a panel.

alisonquilts 04-26-2012 03:03 PM

I like it! 'Specially the braided border...if that's what you "whip up from scraps" I'd like to see what you get when you plan for a month!!

Mariposa 04-26-2012 03:06 PM

This is terrific! Great center panel, and your blocks, etc. around it are neat!

thank you- but i'm not always so 'prolific' sometimes they just---come together quickly & easily---sometimes i have a real problem getting any done- and i do still have a couple 'years old' UFO's that i just can not seem to get to come together.
i love it when they are 'flowing'
last year was a very difficult year in my life & i was not very productive- this year seems to be much better & so far it's been fun to take out an arm load of fabrics from the shelves & just start piecing- and have quilts come out of it all :)
thanks for all the compliments- i have a couple more panals maybe i will do something with...we shall see if i remain 'prolific' when i get back from vacation---

This is really neat! You chose perfect fabrics/colors for your border blocks. Great design.

joyce888 04-27-2012 06:30 AM

It's gorgeous! I really like the mix of blocks and patterns. I love looking at quilts on my IPad, I can zoom in and really see the details and colors! Excellent job!

Sew N Tune 04-27-2012 07:15 AM

You are sew creative. And your work is always beautiful. Love your side panels. They look like mountains, keeping your animals enclosed in their little jungle.:thumbup:

jcrow 04-27-2012 07:28 AM

Love the panel. What is the name of it? I love how you framed it!

it's not bound yet- it's not quilted yet- only a top i put together- haven't figured out what to use for the backing yet- so have no idea what i'm going to use to bind it yet-
thanks for liking it though

Sandynorm 04-27-2012 04:50 PM

Good to see your jungle critters are off the closet shelf, and into an awesome quilt! Nice job!

FLQ 04-28-2012 04:23 AM

I love this! I particularly like that outer border...is it half square triangles? Colors are wonderful too.

anniesews 04-28-2012 04:27 AM

Beautiful work!

littlenell7777 04-28-2012 04:55 AM

I've been studying your quilt, it's so pretty. Lots going on in it. Love the French Braid, border and cornerstones. Looks like lots of batiks, which I love. Great job.
