Blogger's Quilt Festival

I briefly recall reading about the Blogger's Quilt Festival sometime last year but didn't know what it was all about.  This year I did my homework and I'm excited to participate!  Amy from Amy's Creative Side is the host and hundreds of quilting bloggers participate!  Last I checked I think there were over 500 bloggers participating?! Is that insane or what? WOW!

Here is the quilt I'm entering: 

 I know you have seen it before but I just couldn't resist!  It is my favorite and most recent quilt.  

I made this quilt for my mother-in-law's 51st birthday this past weekend.  She looooooves animal prints and has her entire house decorated with different safari-type decor. 

I had been collecting animal print fabrics for about six months before beginning the project.  

I designed about six different quilts before deciding on this one that I call Shoofly Safari.  

One big (16" x 16") simple block repeated twelve times.  That's it.  Real simple. Just the way I like it

Her reaction: "You're gonna make me cry!"

She loves it! yay!
