I ended up with giraffes and zebra-like stripes! A very special momento of my time in Ghana and Guinea.

And what fun to be watched over by this little monkey...

I wrote about the experience in a little more detail in my QB blog for those who may be interested

Has anyone ever done a D9P in Batik? I have some batik fabric and wanted to see what it would look like to do the D9P. Possibly for a baby Quilt..?
