I posted some progress pictures a few weeks ago, and now it's all done!!
My grand daughters name is Ellie and her mommy loves elephants.
I couldn't believe how perfect this quilt was when I found it. Here's my inspiration:

(That woman is a genius!)
A few notes:
I had to draw my own Ellie-phant and I really like her. If I did it again, she'd have a longer body and a shorter tail, but I'm in love with her ear and eyelashes!
Postage stamp quilts are cRaZy, but I think I've got the technique now and I'm as proud of the back of the top as I am of the front! I think I have the technique down now and my next one would have fewer wonky blocks.
I wish I had trimmed it down another 3/4" on the right so the binding comes right up to the Ellie-phant. At this point, I just can't take off the trim and re-do it.
So, without further adieu, here's my Ellie-phant!
