leopard quilt - number 2
I make lap sized quilts for brides at our small church. Usually I just take whatever color I see on their registry - for towels, dishes, etc - and use that as a guide. For this bride it just had to be leopard. She ALWAYS has something leopard print on - a purse, a scarf, if nothing else. When I first heard she liked leopard I went with snow leopard and red - it's a great quilt - in my humble opinion - but not for a 23 year old college grad bride-to-be. It's for a younger person.

That's when I noticed that what she always had on was the brown/black leopard so that resulted in this one. I make a lot of easy-peasy quilts and they find their way to our church high school grads, babies at work and at church, donations, etc so didn't mind starting over for this girl. I don't know her well, but I have known her mom for years so ... all good.
I've gotten to where I like the label on the front of the quilt as part of a block. Not always appropriate, but I like it on this one. I have a "Made by..." little tag on the back.
The little block is an idea I got from a quilt club meeting Saturday - take your leftovers and a dryer sheet and make a 6.5" block to someday put into a quilt with blocks of quilts I've made. Like the idea - don't know that I'll keep up with it.
Hope you can see through the fuzzy!

That is so nice! I've had some of that leopard print in purple that I have to make my grandson's quilt out of. (yes, purple!) It took me about 6 months to even find that print in purple but that's what he wanted. The other colors are lime green & black.
