First off, I absolutely love the fabrics. How fun are they.
I agree the British inspired one would be so apt on the bulldogs, or one of the brighter ones on the hippo.
So hard to pick one.
I would love to try Diggy Dinosaurs with this lovely pattern.
I think his hexagons on the hippo would really pop!
The Fox pattern is my choice. That Chevron fabric would be adorable!

The only thing I love more than circles is multi-coloured circles. I would love to try Afonso’s Polka Dots Prime fabric with the Coco Chameleon Pattern. That pattern would also look smashing with the other fabric in the first pic of this post (the pattern-filled stripes).
