Jungle Abstractions quilt: The Lion
This quilt was a real challenge for me. I am ready to toss it in the trash. When I am really frustrated by a quilt it gets thrown in a closet for a few months until I am ready to take it out of "time out" and look at it again. This one is heading to that closet.
Pattern is Jungle Abstractions - The Lion by Violet Craft. It is paper pieced and quilted on my DSM.
I have never done any quilting accept SID, so I learned a lot about tension issues and the challenge of keeping lines straight. Squaring up a quilt with no blocks was also a first for me. I'm still not sure it is very square, but it is done and I am moving on.
Last pic is of my backyard, I love the summer flowers.

Your lion quilt is stunning! The eyes really draw me in. I've had quilts that got the "time out" closet. It happens, and then I have a change of heart--or not--and by pure grit finish her and then love her when she's all quilting and bound and washed.
Your backyard looks like a plot of paradise!
