Finished Baby Elephants

It's done!!!!  And it makes me so happy, but I still have to quilt and bind the Mommy Elephants quilt.

For the quilting lines, I used a decorative wavy stitch to soften all the hard straight lines and I LOVE how it turned out...

Here is the backing...
Of course, it had to be polka dots!  I'm not sure which side I love more, the front or the back, actually I love it ALL!  I think I found my quilting mojo again!  That makes me Happy, Happy, Happy!!!

Also I have other good news...my town now has its very own quilt shop!  Again, Happy, Happy, Happy!!!  They opened today!

Linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts Finish It Up Friday

    Love the colors in baby elephants. So, you quilted in the same color as the fabric? changing the thread color?

    I did a lot of thread changes to match the fabric colors (bobbins color is black) starting from the center out. It took a while but well worth it in the end. I think I will do almost the same for the moms quilt. By the way I love your blog!
