Elephants Marching

These little cuties make the best fun gifts and are quite addictive - this is only a small sampling of the herd that has marched its way out of my studio.

The pattern is from Joelle Hoverson's Last-Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts.
It is a great little pattern - I made only one modification: I sewed the ears on by machine prior to stuffing.  I've seen what I did to my stuffed animals as a kid; we don't want an earless elephant running around :)
