My daughter made these two similar quilt tops over five years ago for her two girls, who are now young women. She thought the prints with jungle animals and butterflies were too juvenile for them and told me to donate the quilts to a kids' charity. But now that they are finished, I think we should hang on to them. Maybe someday her daughters will have their own little girls who would love a quilt made by their grandmother and great-grandmother.
The tops are a simple design of 5 x 8 rows of alternating squares that finish at 7-1/2 inches. The orange one has top and bottom borders with squares-on-point. I quilted them with FMQ on my Mega Quilter with an allover design of flowers, hearts, and loops. I used a natural cotton batting with a pink twin-size sheet for the backing on one. The quilts measure 51" x 65" and 56" x 82".
