Feel free to incorporate your favorite shade of blue, hippos, dog, bright colors, and things that make you happy in this quilt! (PS their wedding date is 5/14/94 if someone wants to include that.) I am so excited to participate in this project and see how it grows! ((The pattern for the hippos can be found on quiltartdesign.com))
For Violetsunnus- Why are there dogs with the hippos connection. post 43

Also, I am looking at the quilt with the hippos and the umbrella-I am not trying to be insensitive or perhaps I missed a thread in the conversation about the hippo quilt if so please enlighten me,but what is the correlation between the dogs border and the hippos? Is there a story behind this? Because it does help me when I am making a border. Or did you just like dogs and hippos? What colors are you interested in for your border? I see orange and I like orange. 😁

Wendy do not worry about completely it take care of yourself. I am not in town, I have been tending to matters with my Mother.
Jess, I am going to send you the quilt because I have no idea when I will be back home, I bought it with me with the intent to work on it and I have not been able to do so. Ladies I thank you all for this learning experience and I am very glad that I did do this.

I just got my quilt back and it is absolutely lovely! I am awed by y'all's amazing work! It looks so gorgeous with so much detail! I can't express how amazing and wonderful this quilt is! I'll post the final picture in a few minutes. Thanks for letting me participate! This was such a fun project! As a younger and less experienced quilter I learned so much just seeing everyone's work and techniques!
