Bugs, Butterfies and Wild Animals quilt sewing done...fraying to follow!

Edges Are Frayed: 1, 2, 3, & 4th photos...



































I'll post again after I wash this and get the fraying to happen! ( I did this already, see above).
But the sewing is done! The added on animals on white back ground around the border were a gift from SonIL's mom. She'd hope I'd make something for our mutual grand kids with them. I haven't used them all...so they may enter other creations as well. The main middle squares are trimmed in lime green fun fur and yellow yarn. The lady bug inner border is trimmed in a nubby variegated yarn and the yellow again. Some of the fabrics are remnants from my other quilts, some from garage sale finds. All nice cottons. I decided not to put the animals behind bars, but to let them roam wild!
Top four photos done after washing finished quilt so edges in middle squares frayed.
Second set of four photos pre-washing, unfrayed edges.
Last photo of the back of the quilt.
This would make a very nice wall hanging, A doll quilt, or a rug for a baby to lay on to see and feel all the textures, and colors.

  9. Lynn, this is Cathie. I made the sun that is on Andrea's blog. Please visit my blog to see what she sent me -- it's absolutely amazing. Anyway - you have made some lovely things here. I am particularly enticed by this little frayed quilt. I was thinking of doing a rag quilt next, but I like this much better as it has much more visual interest. It really is cool. What a lucky kid that gets to cuddle in this!!
