Looks so nice and making what you like is the way to go.

Love your elephant, looks like he could walk right out of the quilt!

Love the elephant art quilt. I never worry about what anyone says about my projects, they are mine and no one else has to like it. Except my husband and he isn't a negative person! LOL

Next is a piece I have been working on for a looming September show. Finished cutting out the piece from $50 ultra suede (and yes my choice of fabric was also criticized) and now going to quilt the red, white and blue backing. This is my first "hybrid" quilt so I will now work on it at home. No more negativity or quilt police allowed. So there. You will be among the first to see what I make and you can like it or not. After all it is going into an art gallery and my rules since I call it an art quilt! Sometimes I just want to have fun.

You go girl, I believe that the quilt police are just a myth from long ago!

I also love your elephant! I get a lot of unsolicited advice too. Once I hear "you should....." I tune them out. I did tell one person "interesting idea...you should take up quilting and try that. I'd love to see how that works for you!" Keep doing what you do!!

I like your elephant!!! I wonder what that " artist " would have said about your elephant color if you made a Pink one. LOL Do your Own thing!!!!

Your elephant is wonderful! Also, I see some other things in the background (fish & Fox) I really like too!
