I made the top for the elephants last weekend and did the Yellow & Gray over the Thanksgiving holiday. I quilted them both on Sunday. I put both on the frame and away I went. I would quilt a section on the first then move over and quilt the second. . .It worked pretty well doing two at once. Sunday evening I bound them both.

By the way, I am so jealous that you have been able to get two more finished. I have a back problem since thanksgiving and haven't been able to sew.

Sorry you're back is bothering you! I will admit after working on those quilts all weekend I could use a massage. Maybe someone will get me one for Christmas. . .

But thanks for the laugh!

HaHA I hung them in my work cubicle to take the photo. The gal who sits next to me has taken classes on CPR and the Defibrillator should I ever need a jolt LOL

Thanks everybody! Both were really fun to make. A tip for those of you who have the chevron on their to do list. For fast 1/2 square triangles I cut a block of fabric 20 x20 one of the white and the other of print. Layer them together (make sure your print is on the right side) mark off with a pencil squares. Then go diagonal from one corner and repeat through all the squares. Sew a scant 1/4 in on either side of the diagonal line then cut apart. Really easy method.

Beautiful, both of them.

debcavan 12-04-2013 05:26 AM

Oh my gosh. They are very modern looking yet cuddly looking. Both so sharp and the addition of the elephants in the second one is too cool. Love the modern look of the quilting.

I'm not crazy about chevrons but you may have changed my mind !!!!!

bevannthomas 12-04-2013 08:19 AM

I like both of them, but I really like the first one. You used different patterns and they work.
