That Mystery quilt, part 6

At last I have finally finished the top of that mystery quilt I started last March. I tackled the remaining fourth elephant and then begun to add all the bits I hadn't added; eyes, mouths and legs! This included drawing an eye for each, blanket stitch for the mouths and leg detail. Now they are complete I think I might add some extra decorative bling to them.

The first one
Along came number two

Number three plods along

Lucky last

Part 2
Now to sew all the parts together
Beginning to take shape
The final strips
After adding all the other parts together I stood back and thought, mmmm, not really my cup of tea. Not sure if I would ever tackle a mystery quilt again in a hurry. The elephant applique took a lot of work doing, it might grow on me once it is quilted, maybe...

All ready to quilt
