Karen called a few weeks ago and wanted me to quilt a shop sample. When I stopped by to pick it up, I was thrilled! Isn't this the cutest thing ever???
I saw all that white negative space and got very excited! Karen gave me free rein to play, so I did! The first thing I wanted to do was connect the elephant to the butterfly, thus the feather from the end of the trunk to tie them together. Here's a look at that a bit closer.
After that it was just play time. Pebbles, feathers, swirls and other designs blended in to fill it up. While I was on the couch convalescing after my hip replacement, I spent a lot of time on Craftsy. I put those classes to good use with this one!
One last pic of the front...
And a couple of the back. I love how this turned out!! This first one shows the whole back; unfortunately, the color isn't accurate.
This is more the true color of the backing fabric. It was a lovely green.
And the back of the elephant. He didn't require much quilting, just enough to make him stand out.
This pattern is part of a series of baby quilts. They're all adorable!
Thanks for looking!
