Jelly Rolls & Elephants 

Have you ever done a mitred border? My Details and downloads at blog.patsloan.com/2020/12/its-the-elephant-stomp-are-you-ready-for-2021-join-me-tonight-.html

I love a mitered stripe border. Looks so finished.

My elephants are ready to stampede! I've been to Africa and watched the biggest herd head to the water! Elephants walked right up to our safari jeep. Baby elephants hid behind momma's legs. I'm so anxious to make this quilt of memories. I have a table cloth purchased in Zimbabwe that will be my backing. I'm also making one elephant block wall hanging for the couple who were on our trip with us. I'm ready!!!

The flower lined up perfectly for the Elephant’s eye❤️

Your elephant has an eye and is smiling!

My word of the year=resilience! I’m slowly finishing the Cozy project and waiting for my Elephant pattern in the snail mail. My late Mom Loved Elephants so this one is in memory of her. Happy New Year 🎊 2021 so thanks Pat Sloan, for giving me happy projects to look forward to!! Love your border and binding too using striped fabric adds a special touch to those quilts

Use green on the back of your jelly roll quilt. Really like your blue top😊

I love your striped border on the quilt. The strips are really fresh looking. Great job, Pat.

The blue Aida cloth is so beautiful. The back side. The printed side will be great for a Halloween stitch. I love the eye on the elephant. I noticed it the first time you showed her.

Hi Pat ❤️ I'm catching up on Monday video, I love the mitered corners, Especially in striped fabric. My word for 2021 is Happy ! We just watched a movie on Netflix Holiday in the Wild, it was about a Elephant Refuge in Africa, good movie. See you on Facebook ☕

I love elephants, what a cute pattern.

I love elephants

My word of the year was “DO” in 2018. I focused on do for self, do for others, do for God. This year my word will be transform.

My word is finish! I need to get a lot of blocks into quilts and finish them. Thank you Mrs Sloan. I love you too!❤️

I have become so fond of striped fabric.

Thank you. You have definitely inspired me today. “Do”. I like it!

Yes, l have done mitered borders. They are so fun and so satisfying when the pattern/stripes line up!

Your mitered border look very nice Pat!

I have changed my mind about using Morrison Park fabric because I will probably give the Elephants away and I want to keep the quilt I make with it.

Love the elephant block. I will be doing it with you all in my heart.

Like the way you finished the quilt.

It turned out so good. I love the entire quilt

I have my elephant pattern ready to go but am still hunting for fabric. Santa brought me a rolling assistant 🤩

I made the Loyal Union Sampler by Jennifer Chiavarini (sp?). They're were 120 blocks, 6" finished. A lot of work but it turned out so nice!

Your Jane Stickle quilt is beautiful. I don't make modern quilts. I don't even buy modern fabric. I am a Judie Rothermel fan and buy her fabric or other traditional fabric. I watch your programs, sometimes, to learn techniques.

For your sourdough discard, freeze some of it. That way if your starter dies you'll have a backup.

I am so excited to get these elephants started.

I love mitered corners and make them often. My elephant pieces are all cut out and ready to sew! I used yardage and I found that one 5 1/2 inch strip by WOF was all I used for the prints. Each strip will make 2 elephants. The ears and tusks I will cut out of a different fabric.

I was sew excited, so today I made 6 elephants for a baby quilt. Forgot to make some mirror image, so i will sew some of those tomorrow!!

I have had left wrist surgery. Having right one in several weeks. Boy it has really knocked me off my quilting and hand stitching. In Feb. I will be starting some physical therapy. Hands are painful or post-operative weak. I have an entire humbleness about your breaks. Happy 2021!🎊🥂

OMG - I've been trying to come up with my word for the year - have a few so far and "Do" is one of them, also Productivity; Progress; so I have to pick one soon. Your Jelly Roll is very cheerful. Chocolate always helps my attitude. I'm planning to make the Elephant (soon).

I have picked out the FQs for my elephants & am looking forward to constructing them 🥰.

My word for the year is going to be "Finish"

Love the dyed aida. I am thinking of dying some 16 or 18 count Aida because I prefer to stitch on it. You are inspiring me to jump right in.

You're going to love the sourdough experience. I have two loaves in the refrigerator tonight and will bake them in the morning. Let me know if you need some starter!

"Do" is also like "persevere".

Pat, you should call it a Stomp along. SAL

I would love to make a jacket out of my 2 1/2" squares. As I go along, I've been stitching these squares in between some serious sewing. Problem is, I'm looking for a pattern and don't seem to have a good idea of what I want. Definitely boxy with a manderine collar, big enough that I can use a light weight batting and "lining". I'll get there one day. I've sewn my own clothing and that of my daughters so sewing clothing isn't foreign to me. Congratulations on finishing your 1997 quilt!! LOL. It's a beauty and one to be cherished. But then what quilt of yours isn't a beauty!! Pat you are my biggest enabler and I love it. Thanks for all you do, Happy New Year and all the best to you and Greg for 2021. Hugs from Canada.

What do you do with all those beautiful quilts> Do you give them to family and friends?

I used to dye my black jeans after they started to fade

I’m excited to get started! This looks like a really fun quilt!

@Pat Sloan, Did you fussy cut the head of the elephant, its so perfect. As if the Fan leaf is its eye! Love it

Hello from Concord, NC

I have never tried mitered corners. That needs to go on my list for new things to learn for 2021. Can you show how you mounted your curtain rod that hangs your Crush quilt?

How do you sew the elephants the opposite direction?

For your word of the year... how about "experience...."

Fyi - Elephants with their trunks going upward is good luck.

Hi, my grown grand daughter loves elephants and I would like to make her a quilt for next Christmas. I am new at quilting and on my second one, Jacobs Ladder, learned a lot, I’m not new at sewing. Please give me some help on finding fabrics and pattern. I enjoy watching you. Happy New Year.😍

What’s a flimsie (not sure of spelling)?

“Do a tutorial!” “That was it...” That cracked me up😄 I loved your expression! But actually, I do have a question, do you hand sew the lower part of the hanger to the backing? I would assume you have to but it’s the first time I have paid attention to the idea of putting on quilt hanger.

What size would you do the hanger for quilts?

Pat did you fussy cut the head on your elephant the eye and eye lashes of with the one flower looks like you planned it. Very cleaver
