Ellie the Elephant
 
2 Attachment(s)
I have had this elephant made for years, it was in the stack to be quilted. My daughter who is now 16 traced all the pieces for me on steam a seam 2 lite, I don't think she would trace for me now. There were I think 42 pieces in the elephant. I just had fun with it and just quilted whatever I thought of when I hit the spot, the ears have feathers, legs have ribbon candy, my version of wrinkles in legs, the head is pebbled. So I have my March UFO complete and hope to get it binded tomorrow or this weekend so I can hang it in my bedroom or bathroom. Thanks for looking. Oh and the name of pattern is Ellie the Elephant.

LOVE THIS!!! Where did you find the pattern for this? I have a new grand on the way and their baby theme is elephants and I can't find a pattern that I like :(

I purchased pattern at Backdoor Quilt Shop in Billings, MT about 5 years ago or longer and then it took about a year to find fabric I liked. Then to get my confidence level in my long arm took a few years now I am on a mission to finish a bunch of unfinished quilts.
