Baby Elephant Dance Complete!

1-006

This quilt measures about 39” square.

The fussy cut fabric is called Kharma Baby, most of the log cabin fabric is DS Quilts and Metro Circles, and the sashing is Kona ash. I used warm and white batting and the backing is a wonderful fabric from Connecting Threads from their Quilter’s Candy collection. It is light gray with little stars all over it.

I used a zig-zag stitch to machine bind this quilt and you can see it’s getting more and more accurate on the back as I’m sewing from the front.  It’s just taken a lot of practice.  This is probably my tenth quilt I’ve completely machine bound.

Here is a peek of the next project I’m working on.  The fabrics in this one are from the Maya collection.

  6. Congratulations on a finish!! And such a beautiful quilt! I love the colours you've used! I've got a quilt top with little elephants waiting to be quilted. They're so cute. I'm impressed by your machine binding, I haven't been brave enough to try.
