I can’t hold it in any longer! I have to share my latest quilt with you!
Remember the sneak peak gave you HERE? Well, I have to admit.. I lied. I originally told you this quilt was for a “customer” because I thought my mother-in-law was reading my blog. Turns out she isn’t. How did I know? Well… for starters she didn’t immediately harass me at the sight of the animal print fabrics!
A little history…. she LOVES animal prints. Her entire house is decorated in animal prints. Seriously, like…. everything!
Her birthday is next weekend and I am totally in love with the quilt I made for her…. peep this.
I call it Shoofly Safari.
This quilt came together really quickly because I used twelve HUGE 16″ x 16″ Shoofly blocks.
This design is part of my Solo Block Quilt collection. Just one block repeated over and over again to give the quilt a secondary design when it is all put together.
The quilt measures 55″ x 71″
(p.s.-the binding hadn’t been stitched on the back yet)
I kept the quilting nice and simple with an overall meander because I didn’t want anything to take away from those bold animal prints. I’m VERY happy with the way it turned out.
(check out the tiger print backing…. HOT!)
I hope my mother-in-law loves it!

Two things – this is a great quilt for those who love animal prints and this is a great, very simple but elegant way to use animal prints. Love it. Excellent work and she will love it I am sure.
Have a super great sewing day.
