This project was on and off my design wall in a flash. I made it on Friday and delivered it to the mom-to-be at her shower on Saturday. Initially, I hadn’t planned to make a quilt, but found out the nursery had a jungle theme then remembered I had a cute little jungle panel in my stash. The panel is from Robert Kaufman’s Urban Zoologie line and I used the free pattern called A Day At The Zoo from the RK website.
After the piecing was finished I backed it with Moda Snuggles (like minky) and quilted simple wavy lines. Friday night Jim and I drove up to Green Bay to check out ArtStreet which gave me a little binding time and I finished it up when we got home.
Saturday morning I washed, dried and wrapped it just in time for the shower!
I bought the Kona Chartreuse for the background, but everything else was from stash. Not a lot out of stash, but every little bit is progress!
Be sure to check out the works in progress by other bloggers at Patchwork Times.
Love everything about this quilt. It is cute, it is simple, it is fast and it will be loved and cherished for a long time!!!
What a great baby quilt! I don’t buy panels because I don’t know what to do with them. I love your idea. The chartreuse background is perfect. Such a lovely gift.
What a charming quilt. And don’t you love it when there is something in your stash that is just right?
I’m amazed and impressed! Adorable and I’d never have believed at the last minute.
