I misread the title a couple of times - A quilt with elephants on it for college? A college for elephants?

Anyway - now that I've opened the thread I can "read" the title properly - a very clever idea that is well done.

Great idea! I'd try to find a stripe with those bright colors in it and do a bias binding with it.

Beautiful! so curious, did you cut these flowers from fabric and make your design? I keep looking at it trying to figure out how you created your beautiful quilt. It is awesome.

I just purchased this pattern. Can't wait to hear more about how it all went together and any tips you may have. Thanks for posting a picture.

The elephant is a collage of florals and put on a white cloth. The elephant shape is cut out and stuck to a grey background before quilting. Will post a picture when its all complete. Any suggestion on the binding would be appreciated. Thanks for looking.

That is gorgeous. Reminds me of Indian festivals where elephants are decorated for parades.

An elegant elephant! You did an exceptional job on the placement of your flowers!

Is there a pattern for this and, if so, could you share the name? Thank you.
