Elephant Collage Quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone, been a long time since I posted anything on here. Got quite excited when I saw this idea in a local quilt shop and just had to make one. 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.

I love elephants! (I'm working on my first quilt and trying to make my label incorporate an elephant). I'm new to all things quilting, but I'd make the binding colorful, using various floral fabrics.

That will be beautiful when done, and I agree with Sleepy Hollow for the binding.

I love this idea. Are those YoYo's? If not I can see where they could be used to make this .

Very nice! Someone in one of my quilt clubs just did this same thing of a cat. I think a red binding would look good.

That is so beautiful and colorful. You did a great job of placement. Maybe the binding would be pretty in some floral fabric that you have used in making the elephant.

What a bright & cheerful elephant. On the binding, I would probably go with one of the bright wild fabric you used in the elephant. I would keep it simple and not use scraps.

Lovely! I especially love that you found one that serves as an eyeball ;-).
