Description:
Soft and furry lion and tiger cubs in natural colors, are the theme of this quilt. The cub portraits are from printed fabric. All else is pieced from 10 different fabrics. Colors are tans and greens like the grasslands (lions) and jungles (tigers) these cats live in. - The other colors are browns, reds, and purple accents. The back is a single piece of dotted fabric in neutral colors. The paw prints are actual size! The were
hand-drawn and cut, then fused (appliqued) onto the quilt. If you see these in person, you will find it amazing to compare the cub-size paw print to an adult cat paw print - quite a difference! - This is an original design inspired by my years of summer work for the education department at the North Carolina Zoological Park - the largest natural habitat zoo in the United States. It is a wonderful park, and inspiring to be near so many special species of animals as well as educating others about them.
If you would like to use this as a wallhanging, let me know and I will add a pocket (long and narrow for a hanging rod) onto the back at no extra charge.
