"Jungle Friends" in TWIN Size finished at approximately 72" x 96" |
Here is a photo of the finished quilt draped across my twin size bed.
Thank you also to Northcott Fabrics!!! These Jungle Friends quilt projects have been generously sponsored by Northcott Fabrics. The quilt tops are made entirely from Northcott's signature collection Toscana basics. And the backing is from the Artisan Spirit Painter's Palette collection.
I loved working with the Toscana line and am so happy with the overall look and feel of these quilts!
"Jungle Friends" in BABY Size finished at approximately 40" x 52" |
And the Artisan Spirit Painter's Pallette backing? Delightful! This backing blends well with the choices from the front and added a beautiful brightness to contrast with the dusky feel of the front of the quilt. I am just so happy with both of these finishes!
Jungle Friends is a sampler style design with a safari theme and features animal quilt blocks made using traditional piecing methods. No templates. No paper piecing. Only simple straight line sewing and diagonal seams. Easy to follow instructions are provided for every step of the way! The Jungle Friends pattern includes material requirements lists for both the TWIN and BABY size settings and charts for each quilt block.
The Jungle Friends quilt pattern consists of the following sized quilt blocks: Monkey 8” wide x 7” high, Zebra 12” wide x 14" high, Elephant 12” wide x 10" high, Giraffe 12” wide x 34" high, Male Lion 12” wide x 12" high, Female Lion 10” wide x 9" high, Crocodile 12” wide x 10" high, and the Hippo blocks finish at 12” wide x 6” high. This allows for a variety of settings in which your blocks can be used to make cushions, place mats, table runners, wall hangings or quilts from baby to big. Adding wider sashing and borders will also help you to adjust this pattern up to the size you desire.Monkey and Zebra Blocks |

The Jungle Friends pattern gives instructions for making all of the individual quilt blocks and provides additional information for the sashing and borders to make the above settings in BABY or TWIN size. But it is up to you to choose whether to use the layouts shown previously or to design your own setting to suit your particular application.
