My 1 yr old grandson loves all things Elmo. Does anyone know of an Elmo pattern for a quilt? I would love to do something other than just "elmo" fabric but will if I can't figure out a way to do something different. Any suggestions/ideas/ would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to everyone on this board you are all so helpful!

what about appliques gotten from coloring books??

How about a DIY Chenille Elmo in the center. It would be a very good tactile feature for a baby quilt. It would most likely need to be made apart from the quilt and appliqued, do to the chenille process.

I could probably cut you out some appliques with my Cricut machine. Let me see if I can find an Elmo file.....

I have a book called "Quilting with the Muppets" copiedright 2000. Never used it is fusible applique but you could probibly change that. It you are interested in the book let me know. Would mail it to you very cheep. [email protected]
Has Elmo in a 7 1/2" block but you could inlarge it. |
"google" elmo coloring pages and lots will come up.

I made my grandson an Elmo quilt using an outline of Elmo's head I found online (I believe it was from coloring pages), then used red, yellow & black fleece and appliqued it to the solid color quilt. Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of it. Grandson and quilt are in New Mexico, I'm in Nevada :cry:

Do you still have this book?
My little granddaughter loves Elmo. I am going to make her a quilt and was wondering if this might be appropriate. Thanks. Donna

I have one in my head I haven't started yet. It is Elmo's full body on the quilt, done in fringe-cut strips of red fleece, sewn all over his body, to be 3-D and fur-like. Should be easy to sketch out the body on a background and fill in with the "fur" strips. :p
