I have had this idea for an elephant quilt for quite a while, but wasn't quite sure how I could put it together. I had great fun playing with 'Sweet' fabric over a few snowy days and thought that perhaps they could show off these elephants.

I am lucky enough to have had the opportunity to watch wild elephants in Africa and it really does make your heart skip a beat to watch the way they care for each other, defend their young and go about their daily business. They really are magnificent creatures.

I'm so, so pleased with the way this quilt top came together and can't wait to have the whole quilt put together - now to decide how to quilt it - any ideas???
Take care
