Poppyseed's Quilt - The Flimsy

The HST top has been sewn together

AND it has a new name.

The parents-to-be have been calling their

unborn baby boy Poppyseed

until they settle on his real world name.

So this quilt will be known as Poppyseed's Quilt.

And since animals play a role in Poppyseed's nursery,

this animal print backing from the stash

was the perfect choice.

Here's a close up shot so you can see more.

I especially like the text phrases

that create each of the animals.

And the large jungle tree.

Here is the lion . . . 

and the elephant . . . 

and the zebra.

For those who asked,

the HSTs were die cut to finish at 3"

using 44 different fabrics.

They are laid out 17 wide x 22 long

meaning there are 374 HSTs in the quilt top

which measures 51" wide by 66" long.

The best part is I have already decided

how I want to quilt this so it is ready before

Poppyseed's projected November arrival.

Over the weekend,

I'll be linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge

where June's color has been yellow

and July's color (just announced) will be blue.
