It's A Jungle Out There Blog Hop...my day!

 



Welcome to Day 3 of the It's A Jungle Out There Blog Hop!
We are here because of our gracious hostess, Joan at Moosestash Quilting
There are always so many talented bloggers who stitch along and provide incredible inspiration.


This month's challenge is to create a project centered on animals, plants or trees.




It all began with the background piece here that's filled with woodland animals. 
I pulled from my stash an assortment of coordinating fabrics. 

Not knowing how big I wanted this...more likely reason is that my math skills suck...I simply cut a whole lot of 5" squares. The solids would become HST's. 



If you squint your eyes juuuust enough, you can see that there's a secondary pattern going on.
Behind the diagonal rows, there are vertical stripes of green, then blue. 
Raise your hand if you see the stripes! 🙋




There is one big disadvantage to having a design floor. 




After piecing all the blocks together, I quilted the layers together using the wavy stitch that's on my machine. 
I've used this stitch many times and really like how it looks. 




Now how in the world did this batting scrap get sewn onto the back? 
At least I had only sewn one pass before finding it. 
Ugh. It's a jungle out there! 




A striped binding provided the look I was going for!




The leftover small scraps were sewn into rows and quilted onto batting.




And it soon became a matching bib! 




It is Jax-approved!


Now for some final photos of the quilt...all taken in the jungle we call our backyard!






Now I have a gift for a baby boy all ready to go! 
This quilt measures 38" square. 


Please follow along the hop and see many more fabulous projects!
