Today I'm sharing a little quilt that began with a fat quarter about 2 years ago:
I only had one fat quarter and I just didn't have the heart to cut it up so I hemmed and hawed about how best to showcase the cute jungle babies .
I didn't use a pattern - just pulled coordinating fabrics from my stash for inspiration and that led to the patchwork border. I am always drawn to simple patchwork and I really do like what it does here:
Now that it's quilted, I wish I had added a small brown border around the fat quarter, but all in all, I like the simple design and will use it again.
I used this paw print for a backing because the colors coordinated so well with the front and bound it with a textured brown print from my stash:
The patchwork border really is a mess of everything that would work and that cheddar is even a reproduction print. Jackie quilted the cutest monkeys on it:
