Wild Things Tangram Quilt by Dione of Clever Chameleon

Wild Thing(s), You Make My Heart Sing!

Ok, so that line’s been done before… Even for this exact fabric collection, by at least one other Island Batik Ambassador. But my quilt is covered in Whimsical Wild Things and this project does truly make me happy. So I’m subjecting to you to the obvious earworm anyway!

Wild Thing! Bah da da da dah! You make my heart sing! Bah da da da dah! You make eeeeverything Grooooooo-veeeey!

But I’m not just here to torture you with old rock tunes. I promised you a progress update and a look at some of my new Australian Tangram designs on my “Whimsical and Wonky” Island Batik ambassador quilt for December. So let’s go!

December at Island Batik is Whimsical and Wonky….. and Wild!

The challenge for the Island Batik Ambassadors for this month is Whimsical and Wonky. Well, that pretty much sums up all my quilts…. so would you believe I had the hardest time settling on an idea for this challenge? The hardest time!

But I now have a plan I’m happy with. And I’ve started! I think it should be fun. 🙂

Most importantly…. it will be a project for my son who is starting to feel a little left out because his sister keeps claiming all my quited creations that are too girly for him.

Wild Things 10" precut fabric squares — Wild Things 10″ fabric squares by Island Batik

In July I received this pack of 10″ squares of “Wild Things” from Island Batik to use in my role as Ambassador. My boy, who has just turned eight, thinks all the animal skin prints are terrific… especially the sssssnake sssskins…….. sssssss!!!! 🙂 So that is a good ssssssstart.
