A Roaring Christmas Present

As you may know, Ayden is now in kindergarten and loving very moment of it. I get to visit the class about twice a month. Her teacher is very nice to allow me to sit in unobtrusive as possible.......;-]
I recently asked her what her favorite colors are and also her aid's as well.
After finding out what was what, I am inspired to make them a little something for Christmas.
The school's mascot is a lion, so that's going to be the back of the mini quilt.
I draw what I thought was a nonthreatening lion then pulled some fabrics.
I am loving what I see but then I needed to find a good mane fabric.
I like this one but realized the lion's face would get lost unless I figured out a solution.
Black fabric is the fix....oh dear, all I need to so is figure out a way to get that in place.....onward!!
Finally I got it all together. I think she will love this part. Now I need to do a front to the mini quilt. Her favorite colors are orange and white.....now you see why I did the lion first. Orange and white are colors I'll have to think about.
BTW......no fabric was purchased in the making of this project!
