2D jungle quilt.
I love making these striped quilts, the cutting is therapeutic because it doesn't require much thought (perfect after a long day of work). Plus it allows the fabrics to really be the focal point of the design. I love how the colors came together in this one, I wasn't sure they were going to work at first.
The back is pieced with a little "X" marks the spot! Now all we need is a treasure map (and a treasure, does anyone want to donate?).

Straight line quilted as usual, I will never tire of the look of this quilting.
This one is off to the lovely Brit. I hope the baby boy she gifts it to takes it on lots of adventures!

Love love love! And, I'll be able to give it to the mom while we're up visiting in Springfield next weekend for my wedding shower! It turned out fantastically! I know they'll love it!
