a patchwork elephant

when nicole and sean told us they were expecting another baby and she talked about how much she loves quilts, i decided i'd make them another quilt (i made one for atlas).  i had this idea for an elmer quilt saved on pinterest and figured this would be the perfect opportunity to make it.  i collected colors from my mom's and my own stash and got to work.

the back has an elephant parade, with elmer in full color.

  it was a pretty long process putting all the tiny squares together, but i couldn't love it more.  we gave the quilt to the new baby and the elmer book to atlas to read to him.

and since i had some extra fabric, i made a cute gray dress for bonnie.  i have hopes that nicole will have a girl so that i can make a gray dress with a little elmer patch/pocket on the front :)
