Heffalumps and Woozles!

                                                   Heffalumps and Woozles is my third charity quilt for the year.  I made the goal to do 50 quilts before my 50th birthday...we will see, although summer has brought more sewing time for me.  Thanks to my daughter Aimee who pieced this top for me.  I have had it quilted for about a month, just couldn't get it bound...oh the hurdles we face!
I couldn't decide which full picture I liked best...so we have two.  I used a variegated pastel color thread to quilt this quilt and the pantograph Frisky Feathers.  I love that quilt design, such a classic quilt look.

 This little quilt was taken entirely out of my stash!  Somedays I don't know if that is something to be proud of or not, but it is what it is.  The little elephant print is so cute, I love the turtle and frogs.  I wanted that faux binding to be reversed, the pink to be the piping....cut it wrong!  Oh well, not an horrible mistake I guess.  The backing is the elephant print with no surprises in it. 

And it just isn't pictures of a quilt without the folded washed quilt!  This one is ready to ship off...I have another one quilted and a top pieced to go on the frame, so I will hang on to this one for a day or two and ship them all together.
