Pool-A-Potamus
This year’s Guild Challenge was pretty open-ended. Analogous colors, black background, other colors ok in smaller amounts, and some size restrictions. That’s it.
I wanted to make something fun, so a bit of Tula Pink’s True Colors* (the big hippos) … her rainbow hexies (the ‘water’) …
paired with TartanKiwi’s foundation paper pieced hippo pattern (including making one in reverse which took me
and finally - released just as I finished the main section - Tula’s brand new Everglow collection with hippos and giraffes. I love them.
The backing? Tula, of course!
Fussy-cut eyes and lashes
Just a pod of colorful hippos enjoying a spa day, steam rising from the water, while their giraffe attendants wait to escort them out to their fresh water friends. Hey, it could happen.
The whole thing makes me laugh. I doubt it will win any prizes, but hubby and I love it and that’s all that really matters.
* All the fabric, except the Everglow side panels, came from my stash, so this project helps my goal of using up the Tula I own … so I can buy more …
