Default Giraffe

This is paper-pieced and was really hard for me. I think I ripped out ever seam at least once. If I ever make it again, I think I will applique the giraffe on a landscape background. The pattern is Giraffe Abstractions by Violet Craft.

You did a beautiful job, your giraffe is spectacular. I don't do paper piecing, never could get the hang of it. Thank you for sharing.

I love giraffes & that is beautiful. You did a great job. Paper piecing was difficult for me too but worth it.

I'm glad you stuck it out because this is wonderful! I love the close-up of the face and the darker fabric eyes and muzzle.
