Sewellie, there was no pattern for this. I saw a blog post of a quilt and went from there. I did a postage stamp scrappy backing. There are loads of you tube videos on how to do that part. Then I drew my own elephant with a vector drawing program. But you could use a coloring book page and there's a lot of free clip art online too. Don't let a pattern stop your creativity. The pattern should be the start of where you want to take your quilt!

What a wonderful idea and your version looks great. I love that you can see the outline of the elephants on the postage stamp side too...couldn't see that on the quilt that inspired yours and I think your decision to do that was an improvement on her idea. Love it! Thanks for sharing!
