Well I finally finished this quilt. it has been so slow as both DH and myself have been unwell since Christmas- I was even too ill to visit Ruby(my machine :o) and have not been online for a while either.
Soo I finally decided to use the Minky fabric on the back and finished the free motion quilting myself as best as I could. The quilt was very heavy to manouvre! Anyway I posted up a few pics of the finished quilt. It was my first proper design too lol The only problem is I have no grandkids to pass this onto!I am still living in hope :rolleyes: [ATTACH=CONFIG]392591[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]392592[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]392593[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]392594[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]392595[/ATTACH] |
I'm so glad you finished it! It is super cute. I love your quilting. Well done! I just really love it.

Thankyou SheriR that is really kind of you-I have to be honest though- there are a few things I might have done differently lol if I was doing this again(always wise afterwards!) I would think twice about using the minky with all the free motion as I found it really hard, I dont know if that is my age or not but I found it hard to drag around :o, and I would have really liked to have 'puffed up' the elephants a little- possibly using a polyester filling may have helped, or some other method...what do you all think?
I love this board- it is so great for all the support and help. I dont think I would have been half as adventurous otherwise! |
Very cute..

Irishphoenix,
Omg! That is beautiful. My husband loves elephants. He thinks they are one of the most majestic creatures on earth. |
It is beautiful...the fabric/design and especially the quilting. I think you have quilted very sympathetically....there is a certain soft sculptural look about it...highlights the elephants perfectly. Hope you feel stronger soon....You are like many of us....living in hope of grandchildren:). I keep telling them, unless they hurry up, we will be too old to babysit.

Fussy?? Heavens knows there's a kid out there who'd love this quilt.
Congrats on a job well done. |
Question???? How many hours did it take to fussy cut the elephants? The fabric you chose are just perfect for your design.

That is just absolutely beautiful and I love your ELEPHANTS where did you get them from please, if you don't mind.
