Finished quilt |
This is the last quilt I made for our family vacation. This one is for our youngest grandson. I bought a couple of collections of five one yard pieces of coordinating flannels. When I bought them, they came with some directions for different quilts. I chose the Four plus One pattern.
Block and border in more detail |
I was debating between the chevron or argyle pattern for the four patch block. I'm not sure that I like how the border turned out with the colors switching so abruptly where the pieces were joined, maybe to argyle would have been a better choice.

Then it was choice between the orange or the green for the other large block. I knew that the jungle print was one large block as it was my focal fabric. I decided to use the green as it seemed to 'match' the jungle print and thus provided a flow with those blocks.

After putting it together, those green blocks looked lonely. I used a couple of design sets from Designs by JuJu. The appliqués were fun to work with. I used scraps from my stash and also a couple from his cousin's quilt.

I then had it quilted with a fun jungle animals design. Can you spot the lion, elephant and giraffe in the picture below? I added two labels with all the info and did a binding from leftover fabric from the quilt.

His mom says he loves his quilt and seems to find something new each time he plays on it.
