My niece had a baby in July. So I found out her theme was woodland animals. So, since I loved the fox designed by Elizabeth Harman, I decided to use that. I had bought her pattern Fancy Forest about a year before. If you need her book/pattern you might want to check out her page here.
I decided to do it in soft clear colors with a grunge for the background. I mostly used my scrappy stash for this. I did buy the grunge for the background. I found a cute print for the backing that had forest friends on it. I also made a pillow slip and a crib sheet to send to her too.
I was telling one of my friends, Theresa Pino (an award winning quilter) about the quilt and she suggested I quilt it with a wood grain look...it would give the animals some feel of fur and variety in texture. I decided to do that! I quilted this on the sit down quilter.
Here are some close ups of the quilting and the back.
Sew long,
Terry
