"Why name the quilt after a fabric?"

"I really love the way this quilt looks. The beautiful florals make it look so lovely and I really love the backing fabric and the fabric used for binding is great too. The placement of the white squares is eye catching. I would gladly have this on my sofa to snuggle under when it is chilly! I am pinning this for future use!"

"This quilt is so cute! I love the colors and the doggy faces are so adorable! I need to try this one soon! Time to clean off my cutting table and get to work! I really do like the blue colors used on this, but one could really get creative with any color scheme. This one would be super popular with my great niece and her Mom Pop. They have a cute doggy that they all love, so this fits the family well."

"I love this quilt, the randomness of it and of course the adorable zoo animals! It would be a really fun exercise of imagination to figure out what fabrics to use and then block placement. I also like that it is "rated" to be easy enough for a beginner quilter. That should make everyone comfortable with trying to make this sweet quilt. The shopping for fabric would be really fun too!"

"This is an adorable quilt! I would love to make this one soon. I like the size of a baby quilt, especially if one is trying out a new to you quilting skill. I have lots of family members who like cats, so this would be fun to make for them. The tutorial looks like it would be easy to follow."
