Ed Emberley's Elephants Pillow

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Unisex

Style: Casual, Whimsical, Cute


Materials

cotton fabric, shot cotton, cotton thread, cotton batting

What was your inspiration?

My step-dad loves elephants. I thought this print was quite appropriate with the smaller elephant "kids" and the larger elephant adults. :)
To make the pillow a bit less juvenile, I paired the elephant print with a bit of the new Kona Iron (which is officially my fav kona color now!) and a dark blue shot cotton. Some straight line quilting finished the pillow front off nicely!
On the back I used the elephant print and straight line quilting, and I finished the pillow with an invisible zipper.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Quilted pillows are great, fast projects - perfect for beginners!
