Free Pattern: Elephant baby quilt block

After Micki asked about the elephant pattern I used in the baby quilt I posted earlier this week, I decided to work on my computer skills and share the pattern with everyone. You can download the pattern for the elephant block here.

When I first drafted the elephant block, I used it in this quilt-a stroller or carriage size baby quilt.





Here's the quilt from earlier this week
BTW, the goose is from Debbie Mumm's Quick Country Quilting.



Enjoy the pattern...I'd love to see pictures of any quilts using this elephant block.

Thanks Miri. I have not seen an elephant block and was admiring your work. I will have to try my hand at making one.

Miri, I saw your elephant block linked somewhere but now I forget just where it was. (I'm helpful, aren't I?) I wish I was a quilter so I could use this.

Such a great pattern! I just found this a short while ago and made 20 elephants today for a baby quilt for a pregnant friend. Thank you! (And thank you for picture directions - I love those way more than lots and lots of words.)

This is absolutely gorgeous! I love the hearts :) I featured this on my blog today, http://mothercrafter.wordpress.com/2011/08/11/stimulus-baby-quilts/
Thank you for sharing.

Katie said...

It took a while (both to finish the quilt and get the baby born!), but my version of your elephant quilt is finally done. You can see it here: http://katiemaytoo.blogspot.com/2011/08/denniss-quilt.html

Thanks again for such a well-written, free pattern.

I tried to get the pattern, but it didn't come. Did you remove it or am I just not doing it right? I would love to have it.

The elelphant was really fun to make. I made one for a bookshelf quilt. I am looking forward to making some more for a future quilt.
