Plan C

I'm on Plan C for Erin's Elephant Quilt.  This has been quite a journey, since I've never done a quilt like this.

As a reminder, this is what she asked for:

Sweet Elephant Baby Quilt / eco friendly custom hand crafted blanket 

She didn't care what size, and she wasn't in a hurry, thank heavens.  She did request a blue elephant.  I didn't like several things about the prototype, so her finished quilt will be very different.  But it will be a Blue Elephant Quilt.


This is what I have, so far, on my "design floor".  I contemplated, using long strips of green, for grass, but I really happy with the HSTs.  When I laid them out, I actually giggled, the two pieces together made me very happy.  I have some Kona Sky to use for the "sky".  There will be no sea of white on the finished quilt.    
May your bobbins always be full,
