May Finish!
I am so excited to share my May finish. Although it is a few weeks late, it is finished.
This quilt is a cotton quilt panel from Joann's. My friends theme for her baby was rain forest animals, but after a lot of looking I decided this was a fun design.
I did most of my FMQing on the elephant, sky, leaves and border. I mostly outlined the other animals.

| Elephant trunk took a lot of time to add the texture. |
The main reason for outlining the animals and giving the elephant the most texture is that I wanted to add more definition to the elephant and leave the other animals puffy. I love how it turned out.

I love how this quilt turned out. Even though there were many parts that took longer than expected, it was well worth it.
I'm glad that I didn't do a to-do list this month because this is all that I have accomplished. However I feel obliged to write down my goals for June (I hope this will motivate me to finish them all!)
June goals
-Finish March, April, May and June paper piecing project from Quiet Play.
- Finish last 2 cats for moms quilt
-Finish moms quilt
- Make bubba her quilt
I think that should keep me busy for awhile. I have plans to start at least one of my projects for the state fair in September.
Here's to more posts in June!
Until next time,
Holly
