ANOTHER QUILT FOR KIDS - JUNGLE THEME

HEY ALL!!  HOPE YOU ARE NOT TIRED OF SEEING THESE ADORABLE QUILTS WE HAVE BEEN BUSY MAKING, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT TIRED OF MAKING THEM!!  EACH ONE HAS BEEN SO ADORABLE WE DON'T THINK WE COULD LOVE ANOTHER ONE ANY MORE, AND THEN WE MAKE A NEW ONE AND IT BECOMES OUR NEW FAVORITE!!  DOES THAT HAPPEN TO YOU TOO?

THIS QUILT STARTED OUT AS A LARGE FABRIC PANEL THAT MY FRIEND NORA GAVE TO ME WHEN SHE MOVED. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITH IT, BUT I KNEW SOMETHING WOULD COME UP ONE DAY.  TWO YEARS LATER, HERE WE ARE MAKING QUILTS FOR KIDS AND IT SEEMED LIKE IT NEEDED TO BELONG TO A KID!!

HERE YOU CAN SEE THE FULL JUNGLE PANEL WITH THE LARGE ELEPHANTS ON THE FRONT.  WE ADDED SOME OF THE FABRIC TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TO MAKE IT A RECTANGULAR SIZE INSTEAD OF SQUARE.  ALSO YOU CAN SEE JUST A PEAK OF WHAT KRISTI CAME UP WITH FOR THE BACK.

FOR THE BACK KRISTI DESIGNED USING THE LEFT OVER JUNGLE FABRIC TO MAKE SQUARES AND THEN MADE FOUR PATCH BLOCKS OUT OF JEAN AND CHAMBRAY COLORED COTTONS.  SHE BORDERED THESE PATCHES WITH A VERY LIGHT BLUE COTTON CLOTH AND MADE A NICE WIDE BORDER WITH THE SAME LIGHT BLUE.  SO CUTE!!

 HERE IS A CLOSER VIEW OF THE BLOCKS ON THE BACK.  I LOVE HER DESIGN WITH THE FOUR PATCHES AND THE JUNGLE PRINT.  IT IS JUST PERFECT FOR THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE.

ONE MORE CLOSEUP OF THE MAIN BULL ELEPHANT ON THE JUNGLE SIDE, WITH A CORNER OF THE QUILT FOLDED OVER SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THE LIGHT BLUE GOES SO WELL WITH THE WHOLE OVERALL FEEL OF THE QUILT.  LOVE IT!!

I HAVE SEEN THESE FABRIC PANELS ON DEEPLY DISCOUNTED SALE TABLES AT SEVERAL STORES.  THIS HAS GIVEN ME A WHOLE NEW IDEA FOR SOME MORE QUILTS WE CAN MAKE FOR THE KIDS!!

THANKS FOR VISITING MY BLOG AND SEEING WHAT MY FRIENDS AND I HAVE CREATED FOR OUR CHARITY QUILTS.  IF YOU HAVE ANY SCRAPS, PANELS, LEFTOVER FABRIC OR BATTING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE PUT TO GOOD USE, WON'T YOU CONSIDER DONATING IT TO US SO WE CAN MAKE IT INTO SOME COMFORTING QUILTS FOR KIDS WHO ARE HOSPITALIZED?

OR GET SOME FRIENDS TOGETHER AND MAKE YOUR OWN QUILTS TO TAKE TO YOUR LOCAL HOSPITAL FOR THOSE SPECIAL KIDS IN YOUR AREA.  IT IS FUN TO BE WITH FRIENDS AND QUILT a n d IT FEELS GOOD KNOWING WE ARE HELPING KIDS AS WELL!!

UNTIL NEXT TIME!!
