Each enhances the other beautifully. (I hadn't realized just how much I love giraffes until I recently watched a NOVA program on them. Watch it if you can.)suzanprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00902772994149299690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-16314561737490847672016-11-09T22:59:22.743-05:002016-11-09T22:59:22.743-05:00I LOVE everything about this quilt!

I rarely, if ever, cut everything out beforehand and it's gotten me in trouble more than once. My most recent finish with the cat panel was very similar to your experience with this giraffe project. I just ran with an idea and kept changing it until it morphed into the finished project. I'm sure Chelsea is going to love this quilt.Diana @ Red Delicious Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10157904204372685921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-47146535580549325532016-11-05T23:04:00.480-04:002016-11-05T23:04:00.480-04:00I am sure that Chelsea loves it.

The floral print seems very 'her'.<br />Have I plunged headfirst into a project with a loose idea and ended up with something very different in the end? Yes!
