Life's a Jungle, Baby....

Welcome to Thank Goodness it's Finished Friday!

This is Giraffe Love and it's made from Kona Cottons.
For the Background: Ice Frappe, Pond, Pool, Breakers, Cyan & Oasis.
For the Giraffes there is Sunny & Cedar.
Cactus, Peapod & Grass are for the Leaves.

Choosing a backing fabric was difficult.  I looked to my online friends for help in making the decision.  In the end I went with something completely different and chose 8 Days a Week by Ampersand for Windham Fabrics.

The quilting was performed using my walking foot, spaced 1/2" apart, quilted using Superior Threads' Poly Quilter #331 in Lemon Chiffon thread.  This thread is subtly variegated and warmly depicts the sun kissed breezes blowing among the Acacia trees of Africa.

For the binding I had thought about using a black and white stripe.  But I dug into my stash for something that would blend in with the quilt top and found this Up in the Sky by Dan Morris for Robert Kaufman Fabrics.  I think those blues go perfect with the background of this fun quilt and the binding provides a striking frame.

This quilt finish was the 34th use of my 100 labels ordered from

MyOwnQuiltLabels.

The Giraffe Love quilt finished at approximately 40" x 50"
