Elephant Abstractions

Reneta made this fabulous version of Violet Craft's Elephant Abstractions quilt for two very special people in her life - her son and new daughter-in-law who finally got to have the wedding celebration this weekend.  

Reneta and I went back and forth about how to quilt this one.  Reneta wondered if custom quilting was the way to go, especially because it was for a wedding gift.  The quilt top makes an impact before quilting, and really only needed to be held together to make it fabulous, so we were down to horizontal straight lines like the pattern cover and a couple of pantographs. Ultimately we decided on the Time Warp pantograph and both of us couldn't imagine it any other way now!

I used a Charcoal grey So Fine thread that blended nicely in the range of elephant fabrics as well as the purple Grunge background.
