The Safari Animals quilt for grandson Jeffrey, who will be 17 in three months, is all finished. Here's a full picture of it on the back deck in natural lighting, and some close-ups. (And yes, I do sweep the deck thoroughly before laying quilts on it, and shake the quilt out just as thoroughly after picking it up. 😄😁 )
The quilt measures 97" x 97". I designed it in EQ8, and used Kenyan Plains Panel prints in the Wild Wings line, designed by Grant Hacking for Springs Creative Products. The connecting blocks are called Cock's Comb.
The batting is Quilters' Dream Wool. The majority of the thread on top is light tan 50-wt. So Fine, with a few other 40-wt. colors from Omni, Signature, and Magnifico used in the panels. The bobbin thread is 60-wt. medium tan Bottom Line.
The quilting was done on my 18" Handi Quilter Avanté on a 12' Studio frame, using free-motion and rulerwork. The label was embroidered on my Bernina 730 Artista.
