◤Elsa◢

"Elsa" is the 5th quilt in the Stripology Quickies Club QAL! It's made from the cut-offs of the Ana quilt, so they have a similar look. Ana--left and Elsa--right ⤵️ Elsa and Anna are sisters in the Disney movie Frozen.
Quilt Info:
Pattern: Elsa from GE Designs
Size: 60" x 85"
Batting: Quilters Dream 100% Cotton Select
Thread: Glide--Linen
Pantograph: Figure 8 ⤵️ from Intelligent Quilting
This quilting is called "Figure 8", although it's actually an undulating figure 8. It's the same design as one of the older Tula Pink fabrics I used, top row, third triangle over, also bottom row, second triangle in.⤵️
All the prints are Tula Pink designs, new and old!
I had leftover strips of Tula Pink stripes that I used for a scrappy striped binding.⤵️
You can see the quilting clearly on this part of the backing.⤵️
I pieced together some yardage from my collection in greens and blues for the backing.⤵️
Here's a close-up of those four prints used on the back, all Japanese.⤵️
The background print is a Grunge.⤵️ I am really enjoying making all these quick quilts!!!
We've done the first five quilts now, all in the top row.⤵️
Here are my first five!⤵️ Actually seven, since I made two versions each of Lilo and Skyler.
The cutting instructions for the next quilt, Gigi, are released today, so you know what I'll be doing!!!

  2. What fun quilts! I love when you can reuse the scraps from one quilt to make another. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

  3. I love the results you can get with such a simple design - this is beautiful, Nancy! And the fact that Elsa is made with leftovers from the Ana quilt is a bonus, too. Those blues and greens make such a pretty color combination!

  4. Beautiful way to show off Tula prints (I just love using her stripes for binding)! The elongated figure 8 quilting is fantastic, and fun that it echoes one of the prints. Congratulations on the beautiful quilt finishes, thanks for linking up, and have fun with the next one!

  10. Elsa turned out beautifully. It's nice to find a way to use those cut offs before they get lost in the scrap bins. Enjoy your new project.
