Elephant baby quilt

                                                               

I made this baby quilt for friend from work. I am so excited. It turned out better than I thought it would. It was a lot more challenging than I expected but I absolutely love this quilt. I think this is my favorite quilt so far.  I know I say that every time I make a quilt except for the Megaman quilt (I haven't posted that one but will soon). 

The quilt is 40X45. I used 5 inch squares. The middle piece is 20X25. My husband drew the pattern of the elephant.  I drew the pattern for the balloons, the strings are 1/4 inch ribbon.
