My Schnitzel and Boo Mini Quilt was this appliqued Hippo.

After the feedback provided, here is the template for the hippo. The template can be used for the general outline of the Hippo, as well as suggested sketch lines within the hippo.

NOTE: To get the size seen here on this mini you will need to copy at 130% across two sheets of paper.
