Animals Around The World

Animals Around The World quilt

This is Joey's Animals Around The World quilt.  I made it from a cloth book pattern.  I cut the pages into blocks and put them on the design wall and using a lot of supporting fabrics ad-libbed until it was a quilt.  There are a lot of fabrics in it that are also in Aidan's Pirate quilt, and a few from Freya's Rubber Ducks quilt.  It was a lot of fun to make.  I used free-motion quilting on my machine at home.

I used a lot of 1" and 2" squares to fill in spaces.  Where the spaces didn't accommodate the 1" or 2" squares easily, I used beige map fabric, which is also on the back of the quilt.
