The beauty of African wildlife is depicted in this magnificent quilt, which shows photos of lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, elephants, and rhinos in their natural habitats. Along with the animals are fabric rectangles that depict the wide variety of patterns and colors in the animals' hides. Shades of black, tan, orange, gold, brown, and white are shown in a variety of striped and spotted patterns.

The quilt has been professionally quilted in a paw-print pattern, which is most distinguishable on the brown reverse side of the quilt, where a single stripe of the hide patterns is bounded by brown fabric revealing the paw prints of the quilting.

Supplementing this amazing quilt is a wonderful National Geographic KiDS book, "Little Kids First Big Book of Animals." The book contains information about a variety of large and small animals from around the world, all shown in spectacular color photos.

Rounding out this Auction item is a large, soft, cuddly elephant, just waiting for someone to take him home.
