A friend will be a first time grandma in August. She is decorating her nursery in pink and gray, with elephants. I found an elephant stuffie on line and made it up then used the pattern pieces and appliqued elephants on a quilt top. I think it turned out great. The original pattern is by Christina McKinney for birch organic fabric. The quilt pattern is from Fat Quarter Style by It's Sew Emma Patterns.

AND I'm excited that my Midnight Hibiscus (Emerald City by Bonnie Hunter) is complete! I've ordered a wide back hoping it will be delivered this week. I'm anxious to start quilting this one. I like how the border turned out.

Then one day, trying to overcome boredom, I got out the 35 blocks I originally made for last month's graduation quilt and put them together in 3 tops. I did need to make 3 additional blocks, but the resulting quilts will be good for charity donations.
52 x 64 inches and 40 x 40 inches.
Thanks for checking in.
Grandma Dana is Covid quilt #9.
Cute baby quilt! Applique? Great job! You were very productive this month.
ReplyDeleteI used the pattern pieces for the stuffed elephant to make the applique pieces. Made a purple elephant for my newest great niece. Her mom was looking at the pink one very longingly, I asked "Do you want one?" Yes!
DeleteToday I made a stuffed whale. Not nearly as cute.
