Thicket by Gingiber came out in 2016 - beautiful stuff. I made two baby quilts here and knew it was the perfect fabric for someone who loves photography and animals.
The accent fabric is Tribalis by Snow Leopard Designs.
Originally I was going to combine HST's with smaller squares - but after a few rows of 2" (finished) half square triangles cut with this Accuquilt die, it became obvious that the HST's would look great throughout. The entire quilt is a combo of Thicket & Tribal fabrics together.
Animal panels were cut 8.5" x 8.5". Next came 20 HST units surrounding each panel. Then the whole block was trimmed to 12" x 12". After all 24 blocks were sewn together - I added a half square triangle border and 3.5" of black fabric on the left and right sides. Lastly, a smaller black border of 2.5" on the top and bottom to completely frame all the critters.
Even though there are tons of small pieces, this pattern is worth a try with all sorts of fabric designs. The backing is a beautiful black dimple dot minky and it is quilted with Aurifil 50wt. in a simple grid pattern.
Looking forward to 2018 are two more baby quilts and two more Tribal quilts to make with this beautiful Thicket fabric. I amso grateful for generous quilters like Amy Everon & Amy Smart for sharing their Thicket quilts which are so inspiring.
