Drunk Zebra!

The quilt finished at about 56" x 64" and was made with Kona Cotton black, Free Spirit Designs Winter White, and backed in the lime green big polka dot from the line Half Moon Modern by Momo for Moda. The binding was the perfect random zebra print I found at a local shop and forgot to note.

 This quilt was made for my cousin, the amazing artist behind Spiffing Jewelry. She was in the process of decorating her new studio and pinning stuff like crazy. One of those pins happened to be a rug that looked very much like this. I made a passing comment about how I thought I could turn it into a quilt, and the rest is history. (Of course after I printed off the pic I could never find the pictures of the rug online again.)

 I developed the pattern (with a little help from some of my online quilty friends), using a paper piecing pattern. No matter what I tired it is just impossible to get this look without paper piecing. It can be tedious, but is so worth it in the end!

Festival Stats:
Size: 56" x 64"
