Hippo Quilt

Every time my son sees this quilt he says, "Hippos!" so I have dubbed this the Hippo Quilt.
 After some initial measurement flubs I had to scrap my original design and came up with this idea to incorporate the triangles.  The funny thing is that I'm glad I made the mistake, because I like the way it turned out a lot better than my original idea.  Don't you love when that happens?
I was so excited that both of my kiddos decided to show me love yesterday by taking a nap at the same time, so I was able to put together the back of the quilt as well.
 It's definitely different from my usual, but I was in the mood to use all of my scraps to the maximum.
It's all pinned together and now all I have to do is figure out how I want to quilt it.  Meanwhile, check out some of the other 100 Quilts for Kids.  There are some seriously cute quilts being made.
