Giraffe at Kilimanjaro

Giraffe at Kilimanjaro was inspired by a real-life situation. The designer, Deborah Cohen took this image and created this beautiful children's quilt. Please note the details of the giraffe and its wonderful facial features. The background shows Mt Kilimanjaro, the African plains, and an elephant with a baby.

The giraffe can be made using a spotty giraffe fabric or plain fabric where you add your own spots (templates supplied). The background is strip pieced with appliques added on top. The pattern also includes quilting designs.
