On the design wall today is the UFO of the month. I have chosen a 2 year old project that is not on my "official" UFO list on the right sidebar but I can't resist working on it. I came across the bin of elephant blocks I started in a class with Lorna from Sew Fresh Quilts and became obsessed with this project again.

Total swoon...
I love these guys!
To complete this quilt top I need to sew 7 more left facing babies, 4 more right facing babies, 2 birds, 1 turtle and 1 frog, for a total of 18 creatures. That's quite an animal menagery! OH yah and there are also 3 flowers to sew! I think it's a doable goal to create all these animals in the month of October and get them into a quilt top. It's an ambitious but fun goal to have this month.

I started that same quilt about the same time as you started yours. I think it is time for me to finish mine this month too.
ReplyDeleteThose elephants need to get into parade formation! I made this quilt too...it will be in our guild show later this month.
ReplyDeleteThis is on my to do list someday too! I've made most of the animals and the flowers, but made them into pillows for my grandkids a few years ago. Should be no problem getting them done by the end of the month! They are addictive LOL.
ReplyDeleteI love this darling quilt...I have the pattern too. So cute!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNo better way to get something done then work on something you love...these pachyderms are so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteLots of cute things you've been working on the past week (sorry, trying to catch up on blog reading). I did do some slow stitching on Sunday, in my booth, trying to stitch down binding on my quilted jacket.
ReplyDeleteLove those elephants!
