When the heat index is 110 for several days in a row (today is #3) it is easy to stay indoors and get some binding done. My 1930s elephant quilt is done except for a label.
These elephant blocks are from a blog that no longer seems to be online so I'm glad I printed the pattern when I originally saw it several years ago. I love, love, love these elephants and this is the second quilt I've made using the pattern.
The first quilt was gifted to my oldest daughter. It has been used and loved up a LOT since 2012. She even took it along on a 5 day bicycle ride earlier this summer as part of her bed roll. I called this one Polka Dots and Pachyderms. But I have no idea for a good name for the new one. Any ideas for me?

Perhaps call it Elephant Parade?
Yeah, we are heading into some awful heat in CA over the weekend.
Popped by from Finish It Up Friday.
I don't have a name for the quilt but I like those elephants! Love the colors you used. I made two (mama and baby) for a pillow that the grands seem to love.
Here in Louisiana it's pretty hot, too. We face 105 degree heat index daily. Thank goodness for a/c, right?
Love both quilts!!
Great job on the latest quilt - the colors and design are fabulous!
Great quilts - I love the rainbow blocks on the second one, nice to see something a bit different and it looks really cool!
Love your elephant quilts. How about "Ellies Everywhere".
WE are not having a heatwave where we live. It's winter down here in New Zealand, it's cold and raining and the wind is whistling around the door. Luckily I've got a nice big pot of soup bubbling away on the stove!
I would love to make these cute elephants. Would you be able to share the pattern for the elephant? CWeber2002@aol.com Thanks!
Super cute! Love the elephants and to think we've been friends long enough that I remember when you made the first one!
How about "Elephants in the Snow" - are those snowball blocks?
