Zoo Blanket










I've been tackling some larger projects, so I haven't posted in awhile. One of them is this zoo blanket. Jack and Tess love to get out all of their animals and arrange them on the floor to "make a zoo". I thought it would be fun to design a blanket or play mat that had some fun shapes and colors on it where we could put the different animals. Blue for water, etc... So, after some experimental sewing, I ended up with basically an unstuffed quilt I think. Regardless of what it is, it does look quite fun, and Jack and Tess really love building their zoo on it!

  4. Sure. It's a mix of quite a few brands:
    Holztiger - find them anywhere online
    Animalz - http://www.anamalz.com/ (these are my favorites)
    and some others we got second hand. not sure of the brand.
