Elephant Quilt

h

Erin's Elephant Quilt top is finished.  Above, it's hanging off the back of the love seat in the living room.

I decided to use Kaufman Artisan Batiks Blush Poplar Leaf in Sky instead of the Kona Sky.  I like the little bit of texture it adds.  Now, I'm off to work on the quilt back.

May your bobbins always be full,

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:

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,

Plan B

I've gone to Plan B for the Elephant Quilt I'm making for my granddaughter, Erin.  I think I have barely enough triangles; I know what that means, that I really need more.  Off to the cutting mat to make more 3" triangles!

May your bobbins always be full,
