I finally finished a quilt that I call "The Wild Blingdom". It's made of batik circles on batik squares and I embellished them with embroidery and other stuff and put a fancy animal brooch on each one. Just a crazy idea I got one day. I had a lot of fun with it but am glad that it is finally done!
Taking photos was difficult.
Tried hanging it on the fence outside....better light.
The elephant and penguins were appliqued from other fabric as was the chickadees on the block below.
The little spider web is an earring that used to belong to my daughter.
I almost missed this section. Not crazy about the flamingo pin, but it was all I had for that block.
The fish pin was one I got as a teenager.
Didn't use a pin on this block, but made hexie owls and added some owl buttons.
There had to be a spider web, of course and a very big spider!
One of my favorites with turtle buttons and a turtle pin.
A neighbor game me the bird pin and I always wanted to use it on a crazy quilt somewhere. I had fun making the next.
The beaded frog I bought on Amazon....I love it!
Making the tree was a lot of fun. Embroidery yarn twisted and sewn down as the roots.
Just a lot of sunflower buttons with bees and a squirrel pin that I couldn't find anywhere else to use.
I really need to do some quilting in the backgrounds to take them flatter, but I just don't want to bother with it. I would have to do it by hand quilting and I'm not very good at that.
