This week i worked on this Round Robin from an off shoot of the Kaye Woods Quilting Friends group called the Learning Fabric Art's group. This one belongs to another lady named Julie. I decided her traditional style quilt needed some crazy quilting so i did a crazy quilt border on one side and a regular strip of elephant print fabric on the other, after adding a 1 1/4" black border all around.

Here at the top of the strip i added a branch of flowers and leaves, below that is a printed on silk, pic of an elephant and her baby, i added some coconut shell beads at each corner. To the left i added some little metal charms and an elephant button I had.

Below i made some golden yellow yoyo flowers and to the right of that some cascading lily like acrylic flowers down the seam. The elephant print fabric is from a friend in South Africa.

Below the print i used some cool fringe trim and a bead and button cluster featuring an African mask button. Then i used a couple of coconut shell spears with some beads between to do that seam.

Another elephant with some trim around and acrylic flowers framing it. Also a feather stitch seam treatment to the right, and a couple of lazy daisies with bead stems

The bottom is another african type fabric with a black fringy trim and beads above it. i thought this pic of the indian elephants all dressed up was neat so printed it out on silk too and used a gold metallic trim to frame it. made a wooden bead flower in the corner.
