Who says quilts have to be square? - I made three of these hippos in different colours for various friends who were having babies. They are made from fleece with a couple of layers of polyester wadding (batting). Fleece is very easy to work with as it doesn't fray, and is lovely and soft and cuddly. I can't remember who makes this pattern, but it's one of the big commercial pattern companies more usually associated with dressmaking patterns.
