Short Description

Cotton quilt 'Elefant' with geometric patterns in gray and earth tones, featuring a stylized elephant.

Details

This quilt, entitled “Elephant,” impressively demonstrates how sewing and quilting work. In the center is a stylized elephant whose body is composed of geometric shapes. Various shades of gray meet rust orange or olive green, creating a calm yet powerful image.

The quilt was created using the foundation paper piecing technique. The fabric pieces are precisely cut and neatly sewn together. The geometric patterns form an elephant and create a spatial effect that makes the animal appear three-dimensional. Sharp edges alternate with gentle transitions, demonstrating the designer's technical mastery.

The fine details and color scheme make the elephant seem almost tangible. The seams are visible and give the piece additional texture. A wide border in bold rust surrounds the image and clearly highlights the central motif.
