This quilt was made by my sister Carol. I asked her to join in Project Quilting final Quilting Challenge and she did. Since an elephant never forgets (time is forever) this was the perfect time to make this quilt. She has been wanting to make this particular quilt for her house for a while and I am so glad this challenge motivated her to make one.
She started her elephant by sketching out the basic design she wanted and cut out her strips of fabric. She kept with a black/white color scheme to go with her new house that we painted grey walls.
After my sister sewed the pieces together she trimmed the elephant and appliqued it onto the background fabric, added a couple borders and stitched together with her batting.
