Well I finally finished this quilt. it has been so slow as both DH and myself have been unwell since Christmas- I was even too ill to visit Ruby(my machine 
) and have not been online for a while either.
Soo I finally decided to use the Minky fabric on the back and finished the free motion quilting myself as best as I could. The quilt was very heavy to manouvre!
Anyway I posted up a few pics of the finished quilt. It was my first proper design too lol The only problem is I have no grandkids to pass this onto!I am still living in hope

Thankyou SheriR that is really kind of you-I have to be honest though- there are a few things I might have done differently lol if I was doing this again(always wise afterwards!) I would think twice about using the minky with all the free motion as I found it really hard, I dont know if that is my age or not but I found it hard to drag around , and I would have really liked to have 'puffed up' the elephants a little- possibly using a polyester filling may have helped, or some other method...what do you all think?
I love this board- it is so great for all the support and help. I dont think I would have been half as adventurous otherwise!

It is beautiful...the fabric/design and especially the quilting. I think you have quilted very sympathetically....there is a certain soft sculptural look about it...highlights the elephants perfectly. Hope you feel stronger soon....You are like many of us....living in hope of grandchildren
. I keep telling them, unless they hurry up, we will be too old to babysit.
