Quilt Finish - Elephant Pillow Quilt

Whew!  I'm glad to be finished with my Elephant Pillow Quilt.  It all started with a pillow I bought to put on the slipper chair in my sewing room.  The pillow went great with the coral chair, but since it sits in a sunny window and I didn't want the chair to fade, I made a quilt to cover the upholstery.  I'd rather sacrifice a quilt than the chair.


This is the elephant side of the quilt, with fused applique elephants. 




Here is is, draped over the chair.  The elephant says "Put the pillow right here!"




Like so.




The elephant side has the label.




This is the patchwork side, the first side I made.  It's what I initially considered the front, until the elephant side came to be and then I stopped calling them front and back.  I like both of them equally.




These are my three favorite fabrics.  The upper left is flannel.  The lower right is what the fused elephants are made from.  The peacock fabric is my absolute favorite.  I have another peacock fabric that I'll be using in a quilt after my next project, an apron.




Here's the patchwork side with the pillow, and a coordinating rug.  This is the side I'm going with for now.
