Safari Quilt
 

I finally finished my 4th quilt of the year! I was only two weeks late getting it done. I have decided to do a quilt a month for the year..
This quilt was made using a Lion Panel and animal skin prints or stuff that looked kind of Africa/Safari. Most all the fabrics i Have used have been on clearance or sale.. Sadly, I still can't close the lid on the box that stashes the safari fabric. Guess i will have to make a few more!
It was kind of a design as you go quilt. Or design while i lay in bed awake at 4 am !
It is about 119" tall by 110" wide. I used Glide 40 on top and Glide 60 on bottom. I use a pantograph on most of it, except the center area and I did ruler work and tracing on it. I used Quilters Dream Midnight black for batting. I love that stuff! Never any issues. I backed it with a leopard print.
Let me know what you think!
Happy viewing.

Stunning quilt. Love the borders.

very nicely done

Great quilt and fabrics.

What a great pattern you made using a panels. Very detailed border. Good luck with achieving your goal.

Wow that is a superb layout! You should be a pattern designer! I always struggle to get a nice layout to go with panels. I love your fabrics, just perfect. I wish all of our quiltingboard could get together to have a BIG quilt show , pictures are great but in person viewing is so much better!

wow, beautiful and accurate measurements to make the corners turn out!!!

That is a beautiful quilt. Love everything about it.

Nice job. I love the corners! Nice feature!

Love it! Especially like those corners in the borders! Great idea. I too am an enthusiast of African animal prints!

A quilt a month! I was expecting something small and then when you said panel, ya, that will speed it up. This is not small and all the flying geese!!! I am impressed. It is beautiful!

Love it! The colors are great. I especially like your round of flying geese and piano keys, really makes for a striking presentation. Those animal prints look great against the solid black.

Very pretty.

Beautiful, and I especially appreciate the exquisite Symmetry that you have established. Thank you for sharing, you leave me inspired to use my own small stash of animal prints.

What a perfect choice of fabric for this gorgeous quilt.

That's just stunning! Beautiful work! :)

Ditto to what everyone has said -- I love the rich colors.... And, it even matches the shingles on your roof!

WOW.......this is AMAZING!!!!!!!

that is a great quilt!!!

I love your design and the animals in the corners!

That is beautiful! I especially like how the corner hang-off is oriented.

Beautiful and stunning

This looks fabulous on your bed. Great use of all your prints and your quilting just makes it shine.

Wow what a beauty :)

WOW!!! I love the way the corner of the quilt lays on the bed.

I think you did an outstanding job on this quilt!
