The Quilt Pattern Takes Shape....

So I had a few ideas on the design for my quilt and narrowed it down to these two:

I decided on the first design, as I thought it was more identifiable as an African quilt with an image of Africa on it, and also to be made out of African fabrics makes it twice as African. 

I also plan to choose the fabrics for each country to contrast with the one next to it and hope it makes a really striking design....we shall see!
