Elephant Parade
My stepdaughter and her husband are adopting a baby that is due to be born the end of April. She is decorating the nursery in grays with a pop of teal and she loves elephants. Well, isn't that just perfect (in so many ways!!)! Lorna who blogs at Sew Fresh Quilts designed the adorable quilt, Elephant Parade, so I just had to follow her pattern and make this quilt for my stepdaughter and the new grand!! Of course, I had to put my twist on it so it is a bit different from hers, and that is just fine. It is not quilted yet but it will be on the frame soon!
I chose to do only elephants, use teal for the ears and some random sashing and the exploding pinwheel just for fun. I also alternated the color placement on the elephants and the background. Because I can't count and I make mistakes, I also had to make a wall hanging or a car seat blankie (it will be her choice)
I am linking up my almost-finish with Sew Fresh Quilts.

Really awesome Susan! You are very creative! Welcome back to your blog! LOL
Susoan this is so beautiful. I love what you did with the elephants and colors.
Very nice personal spin on the pattern.
Very creative! I love the reverse elephants.
I just love how you spaced these all differently. And I love the teal. Well done!
That looks great. What a lucky baby.
I really like your variation on the parade pattern, especially alternating light and dark backgrounds. Very effective quilt. I can imagine you are quite excited, waiting for the new baby.
I love your variation!!!! Those pops of teal are perfect in so many ways!
