Norman, the Enormous Elephant

 

 

 

I'd like to introduce you to Norman (click here to see where tobuy a kit/pattern)   Isn't he magnificent?   He belongs to Vicki and she wasn't going to let me keep him.  

 

 

I'm pretty sure Vicki said there are 181 pieces in Norman's trunk.  The entire quilt is 30x30, so those are tiny pieces. 

 

Look how she fussy cut his eye!   Vicki doesn't often have suggestions for the quilting, but this time she mentioned wanting swirls behind Norman, so the wind is swirling behind him. 

And some hills in the background.

and the ground is dry and cracked--with some dust swirling under his feet.
