August 2024 Favorite Finish

My favorite finish in August is a baby quilt I made for some special people who are expecting another daughter. They are not comfortable with being named on this blog nor having any information shared on social media. I found some 12″ adorable elephant blocks on JoeJuneandMae’s Etsy site and combined them with some simple grey 12″ nine-patch blocks, added a 2.5″ outer border, and the quilt finished at 40″ square.

The back was simply pieced and featured a favorite butterfly print along with coordinating solids.

Below is a close-up of the Juvenile Jungle quilting which was done by Cara at Sew Colorado Quilting. I brightened the photo to show off the three animals in the jungle: elephant, lion, and giraffe.

  4. Lovely baby quilt, and I think it’s wonderful that you respect the wishes of the parents who wish to remain outside of social media. Privacy is such a precious commodity anymore. Best wishes to them and their growing family.
