My first post.... Safari quilt
 

I finished this up last weekend, it is ready to go to the quilters.... I bought a zebra skin minky print for the backing.

Welcome to the board from a California gal. Your quilt is gorgeous. I can just imagine how soft the backing is.

Great quilt - love the safari theme

Animal prints, my favorites. Love what you did with them.

Someday I hope to take the time to make an animal print quilt for me.

How cool is that! Great job. I like the way the animal fabric looks like pictures laid atop the quilt. They really look prominent. Very cool.

nicely done and welcome to the QB

Beautiful!!

Love it! :D

I love it! I agree...zebra minkie will make the perfect backing for this one. Those jungle prints are great.

That's a gorgeous quilt! Welcome!

Thank you for all of the complements! For those interested the pattern is the BQ quilt pattern from Maple Island. It is really easy - I think the hardest part was selecting the fabric. I can't wait to have it quilted and give it to my friend :)

Great quilt...

fun theme and a great quilt

VERY nicely done!

great looking quilt and I love what I can see of the rug below

LOL - that rug is lovely. It is a Kandinsky style wool rug that I bought about 7 years ago from what was Home Expo. it was part of their Guggenheim collection. Very abstract

Love it, that layout is awesome!!!!

That turned out really nice... is that the BQ2 pattern ?

Very nice. I love the way you used so many animal prints. Beautiful job. Welcome.

The pattern just shows BQ - no number.

this is not mine but I found one for sale - http://houston.craigslist.org/fuo/3641753477.html ....

welcome from va your quilt is very nice!!!!

Gorgeous quilt! Gotta love the BQ patterns, they are so great for showing off beautiful fabric like your animal fabric. Speaking of that, can you tell us what fabric line it is. The animals are so crisp and clear I just can't get over the gorillas! Thanks for sharing and welcome from Xenia, Ohio!!

I believe the gorillas and the tigers are Elizabeth Studios; I think the running Cheetahs and at least two other scenes were from Timeless Treasure African Safari, the Giraffes and Zebra prints were from Fabriquilt. It took me some time to collect them all, mostly ordered via the internet.

That is really cute, I love the safari look. Post a picture of it after the quilting is done.

What a fun quiltsmart fabrics and the pattern really shows them well. Great job!

Fabulous! Looks like a BQ pattern?

Very pretty!!!!!!!!

Beautiful. Love the way you used the fabrics.

I'm wild about your quilt....

I love your quilt, and the way you placed your panels!

(I also love what I can see of your rug underneath the quilt.)
