Each panel features a stunning safari animal—choose from the majestic elephant, the graceful giraffe, or the striking zebra. And here's the magic: all the fabrics you need for your collage are printed right on the panel! That’s right—the main image, plus all the coordinating fabric “bits,” are pre-printed and ready to go.
Whether you’re brand new to collage quilting or just looking for a low-stress project, these panels are the perfect place to start.
Make it Your Own!
These finished collage panels are incredibly versatile—they can become bold wall art, eye-catching cushions, fabric-wrapped canvas decor, or even a unique centerpiece in a larger quilt. We even saw someone applique their collage onto the back of a jean jacket for a wearable work of art! And since each panel includes clear instructions and a suggested layout image, you’ll have a built-in guide to help you every step of the way.
The Cutterpillar Illuminated Mat makes it effortless to trace even the most detailed shapes onto your Steam-A-Seam, giving you crisp, accurate pieces every time.
Safari Style Fun with Just a Few Simple Tools!
Want to make the process smooth from start to finish? Here are our favorite helper tools:
Steam A Seam 2
This double-stick fusible web is perfect for collage. It lets you lightly tack pieces in place before permanently fusing, so you can move things around until your layout feels just right.
Cutterpillar Glow Premium Illuminated With Mat
A glowing workspace makes a world of difference when cutting small, detailed pieces. This illuminated cutting mat helps you see every edge clearly and avoid cutting mistakes.
Clover Mini Patchwork Scissors
Accurate cutting is the key to a clean collage. These small, sharp scissors are ideal for trimming tight curves and tiny details—like a zebra’s mane or a giraffe’s ear.
Wool Pressing Mat
Silicone Appli-Fuse Mat by The Gypsy Quilter
This non-stick silicone mat protects your iron and surface while letting you build and fuse your design in one place. It’s a must-have for fuss-free fusing!
Safari Magic, Made Simple
With just one panel and a few key tools, you can create your very own work of safari art. Whether you go with the elephant, the zebra, or the giraffe (or collect them all!), the On Safari panels make fabric collage feel doable, fun, and totally fabulous.
So if you've ever wanted to try fabric collage but weren’t sure where to start—this is your sign! 🦓🦒🐘
