    I like the striped fabric on the top and the bottom (your second version)
    Really cute quilt

    Do you have another row of animals? I think I would leave the animals (Zebras) as the first row, use the stripes for the next-to-last row, then add a row of animals (Monkeys or something) for the last row. It would balance the wide and narrow rows better. I don't care for adding stripes at the top, but it just looks too added on at the bottom and needs a a narrow row of something, preferably animals or jungle print, to finish it. Its a really cute quilt. That's my two cents worth! LOL

    Hope you leave it the first version. It makes it so nicely exotic & goes with the animals on the quilt. Be sure to let us know what you do. I think it is so unique.

    i agree, it would look more balanced. Very cute quilt. If you want you can still do that, just cut off half of the bottom stripe and add to the top.

    Edit: Lots of opinions for the stripe, that will teach me to read it all before I post!!!

    I agree about using it on the top and bottom both. I wouldn't use any less than 1/3 of it on the top or it still looks too bottom heavy.
