This quilt is for my grandson. I've been working on it for a long time. He'll be glad it's finally finished. Supposed to stop by today to pick it up.

BTW, this is quilt #1. Long story but the condensed version is that during the process of designing I changed my mind several times and ended up with enough fabric for two or three quilts. #2 is in progress but don't know when it will be ready to post.

The quilt

Had one block of the panel leftover so made a matching pillow.

I fussed over the quilting for quite a while. Ended up outline stitching the blocks and FMQ the rest. Won't show you the rest cause my FMQ isn't quite ready for public display.

Love Tigers. I want to add my tiger quilt so everyone can see it also. Nice job on your quilt. For some reason I can get the back of the quilt to show. This was a very hard quilt for me to do, I took a class.


In person a lot better than this picture

I'm so glad to get positive comments on the colors. I originally planned to add brighter colors in greens, gold and burnt orange, along with these hoping it would give the feel of the jungle. (That's how I ended up with extra fabric for another quilt yet to come.) But after fussing over it I decided to go with this more neutral palette. I came up with the design in Quilt Wizard. Since I couldn't import the panel blocks I just used place holders. And I used solid colors in place of the actual fabric.
