Back-Tack III: Revealed!
Robin at i green eye, please ignore the rest of this post if you want to be surprised. Everyone else, go for it!
Here's the not a bunny or a kitty that I've mentioned before:
An elephant! One of my favorite animals. I'm so happy with this that I'm almost sad that I'm sending it away. The five buttons are on the corners of the blanket and the headpiece. The lime green third color is Robin's favorite, and the embroidery on the blanket is based on the very cool background of her blog. The border is one of the fancy stitches on my sewing machine. In addition, Robin will receive:
Pieces of all of the fabric I used, with a bonus piece featuring some of the elephant's jungle buddies. The coordinating tin will hold the alternate "headpiece jewel" buttons that I considered using. This was fun to put together. I hope Robin likes it!
It's elephantastic!

How very majestic! It's a beautiful elephant! And I think that it was a brilliant idea to send along the remaining fabric and extra buttons.
