I really didn't set out to make three elephant quilts. I didn't. But the baby was in the hospital for six weeks. And we didn't know when she would be able to come home. My daughter mentioned that she was going to decorate her NICU crib a little to make it cozier and more cheerful for Aleena. I thought I could make a small wall hanging that would be perky and happy. Maybe use some washi tape to hang it up.
Then they let her come home! Happy day! Well, of course I still had the yet to be finished small wall hanging. Now what? hmmmm..... I added a few more borders and quilted it up to be a little carseat quilt.
I used some kind of fleece as the backing and it is perfect! Lightweight and warm, they bundled her up in it. Tada!
We are all adoring her and holding her and passing her around. As you can probably imagine.

So there it is. The last elephant quilt I am making in 2013. And possibly forever.
