Wow I never have seen anything like that! Thank you for sharing!

Super cute! I'd go with a simple blue binding. Cool colors tend to draw less attention to themselves than warm colors. The elephant should be the star of the show. Much as I love creative, artsy bindings, I think understated is the way to go in this case. The other thing to keep in mind is that typically prints will not show up as prints on the binding so if you go with a large floral print, it will just come out looking like random dabs of color. For that reason, I'd go with either a solid or a blender.

On the other hand, if you really want to dress it up, I think a jet black (http://www.robertkaufman.com/fabrics...mium/K040-114/)binding with some gold coated thread (http://www.berlinembroidery.com/goldworksupplies.htm)couched next to it would really look stunning. However, gold thread is fairly expensive.

Beautiful! I would go with a bright floral binding. Now I see what I can make with all of those really bright florals that I collected over the years. Thanks for sharing.

Nice elephant.

Neato. I think that would be so fun to make. I think I would use fabric scraps pieced together for binding.

Thanks for all the lovely comments. Like both the blue and black fabric for binding. Don't really have enough of the florals as I only brought fat quarters to chop up for the flowers.

Below is a link to the pattern site:

I purchased the pattern at a local quilt shop and they also had a caravan pattern.

You fussy cut out flowers using steam a seam and attach in any order you like. I wanted to make the ear stand out so chose to use blue flowers within this area.

Working on the quilting now. Will post a picture when its all completed.

Love, love the elephant! I bound a quilt made with bright, modern florals and large blocks of off-white with a hot pink/chocolate brown polka dot print. I took my quilt top with me and asked the quilt shop owner to help. We both reached for the same print at the same time. What about a red with purple or hot pink polka dot that would contrast, but be equally whimsical as your florals.
