Safari on the Savannah!

Today I am so excited to share a new finish with you featuring Leo and Savannah fabrics that I was able to make for my wonderful friends at  Riley Blake Designs!!  This quilt is called Safari on the Savannah  and isn't it just the cutest!!  The Pattern is by Coach House Designs and it is an absolutely fantastic pattern that breaks each block down step by step and makes this quilt very easy to make.  

The  Safari on the Savannah quilt uses yardage from the Leo and Savannah fabric.  I love how each block uses a different color basic from the line to really make the animals pop!     And the top and bottom border is the cutest little safari print!  The quilt finishes at 54" x 68" so it is a great size to hang above the crib, and then grow into a big boy bed.  

This Safari on the Savannah quilt is made with basic piecing.  Watching the placement is key but again, the pattern is really easy to follow.   And yes, there is a little bit of applique at the end of each block to add the faces on the animal.  It's super easy and adds so much character, totally worth the time.   It is truly a great pattern for experienced beginners and experts alike!!

And I wanted to add lots and lots of yummy texture to the quilt, so I opted for my all over swirl.   I just love this design, and I can do it rather fast, which was important as this was a gift for a special little boy turning 4 on Monday.   He just loved it, and it is on his big boy bed already ;)  

And that is my Safari on the Savannah quilt!  I am so glad I got to test this pattern for Riley Blake Designs and had this adorable quilt top when I was done.  I absolutely loved piecing each of the blocks, and the finish is just so cute!!  

Thanks for joining me today and sharing in this new finish with me.  

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!!
