Jungle Elephant Quilt Tutorial - Part 1

With Mother's Day on almost here, I have been inundated with quilt patterns. Luckily, that means patterns galore!! So, here is another one for you. These quilts were made for a beautiful set of twins, whose Dad wanted a surprise gift for Mother's Day! The coordinating fabrics are perfect for a little boy and girl during the cold months! Again, this is a relatively simple quilt, with lots of straight lines and sharp corners.

What you will need:

• Download the Jungle Elephant Quilt Pattern here
• 5 coordinating fat quarters
• Backing fabric
• Binding fabric
• Wadding
• Coordinating thread

**Note - you will need the pattern for the necessary quantities and measurements of fabrics and quilt blocks. The pattern is available for a small fee on my Etsy store.

1. Cut the necessary quantity of squares and strips from your fat quarters.

2. Assemble blocks 1 and 2, as directed in the pattern and sew in place with a 1/4 " seam. Press seams flat.
**Tip - to ensure your blocks line up perfectly, try pinning the rows together before you sew them.

3. Attach the blocks together in required order, to create rows 1 -5, using a 1/4" seam. Press seams flat.

4. Attach the rows together, using 1/4" seam. Press seams flat.

And that is the quilt front finished!

Next week, we will complete the quilt by adding the wadding, backing fabric, quilting the front and binding.
