Noah's Ark Quilts

I got a call from my daughter Tammy in Michigan requesting a Noah's Ark Quilt for a friend that worked with her .She was willing to pay up to $100.00 for it for a baby boy .
I first wanted to find a picture of Noah's Ark , I asked at church if there was a good picture of an Ark ,a friend found a child 's book about the Ark , so I had Royce Yates a friend from church copy it for me .Then I went around trying to find fabric of animals .I went to all the fabric stores around here , I used what I could find ,then ended up drawing and painting some of the animals ,I made sure there was 2 of each ,I was afraid the one's I painted would not be as good as the one's already in the other fabric . but they turned out good ,I don't know if you can get close enough to them on-line to tell which ones I painted. Its like a puzzle.
I made a normal size baby quilt with before the flood and then a wall hanging of it during the flood  .
 Both quilts  was a challege to make  .
