The first baby quilt I made in flannel was a jungle themed quilt. I was making it for a co-worker. She was doing a jungle theme for the nursery, so I did my best to come up with a fun quilt. This was another quilt where I didn’t have a pattern, just some sketches of jungle animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The finished quilt! I took this picture at work, and the sunlight showed off the colors wonderfully.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Sketching out some jungle animals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I knew the approximate size of the quilt I wanted to make. I also knew that flannel could be somewhat hard to work with when trying to make small designs. So I chose to make 4 larger panels of simple jungle animals. I did a few smaller sketches and chose the ones I liked. I then drew them approximately the finished size.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

The enlarged drawings. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I traced them onto paper and cut them out. You can see the elephant’s head and ear, as well as the lion’s nose and ear and a tiger ear in the photo. I then marked the design on the flannel, added a seam allowance and cut them out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>
\"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The seam allowance was turned under and pressed. I then pinned the pieces in place, being careful to layer it in the correct order. I used a zigzag stitch to sew down the pieces. Each layer was added one at a time. You can see the first parts of the giraffe and then the completed image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The elephant, lion and tiger. I even put small pleats in the pink of the lions ears to add a bit more to the design. I didn’t have a picture of the tiger before quilting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s interesting to see how the lighting made the color of fabric look so different in the photographs. The giraffe and elephant were completed at a quilt retreat and the lion and tiger were done at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting it all together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I sewed sashing strips between the blocks and added a border of the green background. I used the quilting to add details to the jungle animals like the whiskers on the tiger and the lines on the elephants trunk and ears. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The family was thrilled with the finished quilt and they were the ones that hired me to make a quilt for their older son (the train quilt in this post<\/a>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
