Size: 7"w x 10.5"h x 3"d

I added a layer of fusible fleece to the exterior bag once it was pieced and quilted it with some straight lines just to give my bag some more structure.

Fabrics:  "Hello World" Mini Menagerie Multi Panel (I just used the hippo & the giraffes) and Itty Bitty Pink by Cori Dantini for Blend Fabrics.  It was the hippo that sold me but all the animals are adorable. The panel also includes a bird and a zebra.

The back:

Happy Quilting!

Serge & Sew Colour of the Month - Fox in a Box

"Fox in a Box"

Pattern by Jeni Baker

Book:  Fun-Size Quilts, compiled by Karen M. Burns

Size:  18.25" x 18.25"

February's Colour of the Month Challenge Fabric at Serge & Sew is this gray with the white circles.  The background is Kona Cotton (in white?) and the other fabrics were all pulled from my scrap bins.  The eyes are Élan 14mm buttons.  I know this project is a bit bigger than the challenge guidelines ("no bigger than an average placemat") but I couldn't seem to stop making the foxes to make it that little bit smaller...I just love them!

On the back is a leftover piece of white from something else - I'm not sure what it is, except I'm pretty sure it's not Kona Cotton like I used on the front & for the binding.

One more look at the foxes and the stipple quilting in between them.

Happy Quilting!
