As with the Giraffe Love quilt I finished last week, I had a hard time choosing my backing fabric and looked to my online friends for help in making my decision.  In the end I went with a different black and white print called "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 the quilt.  I think those blues go perfect with the background of the quilt and provides a striking frame for this fun quilt.

This quilt finish was the 35th use of my 100 labels ordered from
