King of the Jungle by Jackie

I must admit I was a bit nervous when Jackie's sister, my dear friend Jane dropped this beautiful wall quilt off in the studio.  Jackie was struggling and just needed/wanted it finished.  I pondered for a few minutes, got over the intimidation of the applique, refused the pieces and jumped right in.  I must admit it was a lot of fun and I love the way it turned out - sure hope Jackie does. 

Freehand stitching on the lion, a bit of ruler work and freehand ferns in the border.  I used one color polyester thread.
