A dear friend asked me to make a baby quilt with the theme of elephants and in the colors of purple and gray. Some months earlier, I had purchased seven tea towels at a garage sale that were hand embroidered elephants with the days of the week. I thought they would be perfect for this baby quilt. I cut a rectangle from each towel, added gray sashing, then purple borders. I embroidered one elephant to balance the quilt top. I free hand quilted the piano keys on the purple and swirls around the elephants and her name. I added a sleeve on the back so she could hang it in her room. So adorable!
