Love it, lions are my very favorite. I have one that sings The Lion Sleeps Tonight. That would go great in my house. Where did you find the pattern?

Actually I made up most of it, except for the lion. I drew the tree and leaves by hand. Found the lion under Bible stories, you know, Daniel in the Lions' Den.

Thanks for all of the nice compliments everyone.

Nice job on it ! I love the tree. I'm wanting to do something with a tree in it - this gives me inspiration!

A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh......yes, I sang the song as a child, too. 50 years! I didn't know it was that old! The good old brain brought up the melody instantly with your quilt title. :lol: :lol: :lol:

And, I love the quilt! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
