This is the second Elephant Abstractions quilt I have quilted for a customer, and this one was pieced by Monette. She liked the idea of quilting different parts of the elephant with different designs which is what I did for the other one. I didn’t quilt it exactly the same though – that would have been boring – but left some things untouched that I really liked with the first version like the ribbon candy for the tusks or the escargot/pebble filler for the tail. I came up with a completely different design for the trunk and used a different leaf design for the background. Monette’s quilt also has borders which the first one didn’t. The very wide outer border is a busy batik fabric, and while the quilting is visible in reality, it doesn’t really show up in the pictures.
Beautiful qult.
Thank you, Barbara.
This quilt is so pretty. Thank you for sharing it.
Thanks for stopping by, Darla.
WoW, WoW, WoW, it’s stunning.
Thank you 🙂 I find these much more difficult to quilt than the Judy Niemeyer patterns, and I am quite happy with the way this one turned out.
