There hasn't been a finish here in a while, so I'm pretty excited!
This quilt broke my rule about not making a quilt for anyone at work. I was afraid if I started it would open a giant can of worms and hurt feelings, but this seemed like the time to make an exception. Actually, I just revised my rule: only baby quilts, and only for people on my team.
I didn't post any progress photos because it was a super secret surprise for a very special baby who will be here in about seven weeks! My building engineer and his wife are expecting their first baby, a little boy named Brayden, in June.
As soon as he showed me their inspiration photo (above from Pinterest) and told me he was going to recreate the chevron wall, I knew what I was going to do.

A quick search of elephant fabrics turned up this perfect Michael Miller line called Happy Elephants. I decided to keep the elephant fabric on just one row so that the rest of the quilt would mimic the painted wall.
On the back I put the matching madras plaid, which also made the cutest binding!
I quilted straight lines in the chevrons, and a continuous curve design (thank you, Angela!) in the background.
Then I added some spiral swirls in the elephant section to give it a little special touch.
The shower was Tuesday, so I can finally share this fun finish. Mom and Dad were so appreciative that I am glad they were deemed "quilt worthy."
