This is the new quilt that I am working on. It’s very small measuring 21″ x 38″. This quilt has less design elements than most of my other quilts. There is still a lot of work to do on this piece. Besides finishing the applique in the upper right hand corner, I need to add the embroidery.
For the embroidery I purchased a rainbows worth of muted color thread. Right now the quilt feels to matchy and I hope that adding the various colors of the embroidery thread that the quilt will pop.
This is the original design that I put together in Adobe Illustrator. I don’t always use the computer to design my quilts, but sometimes I like the instant satisfaction of not only being able to draw what the quilt will look like but being able choosing and changing colors with ease. I sometimes have trouble picturing colors for my quilts in my head. The computer helps me visualize how the colors may look.
This is a gorgeous design; I love the mirrored elephant pattern, and the embroidery sounds like it will be amazing! Thanks for sharing your process!
Beautiful! I absolutely love this pattern. Can’t wait to see how the embroidery finishes it.
What a fabulous design. My favorite part is the detail of their tails! Please post another picture with the completed embroidery so we can see the evolution.
Have you considered the embroidery style from India….with the mirrors…I think the color and textures would be a beautiful way to embellish your design.

i love this.
This is really delightful, and I think it is fantastic the way it is, but I’m certain your embroidery will really set it off!
I really like this too. You are getting me to think an illustration program would be fun…….do you like adobe, have you tried others?
Very beautiful! Can’t wait to see it finished!
