Most custom orders I do are very generic, like "It's for a boy," and that's all I need for directions. And it works well for me because I get to use fabrics that I'm naturally drawn to or that i already own.
But this one was so easy. The colors were already right up my alley. Nonetheless, I bought some more fabric, specifically the adorable elephant prints I found online. I made half square triangles and arranged them into a chevron pattern. Added that wide elephant border and voila. I had finished the quilt. From start to finish it didn't take me too long.
I had a sewing date with my friend and I finished the quilting up in her Portland apartment building's rooftop lounge. (We also did some shopping and ate nachos to to fuel us along.)
