Assembling the Elephant Ears
1. To make floppy ears, trace ear patterns A and A1
onto the back of each ear fabric and cut out. Trace
four ear A1 patterns onto quilt batting and cut out.
If you prefer nonfloppy ears, you can appliqué them to the quilt instead. For hand
appliqué, use the ear pattern A1 (nonreversed), so you can trace it onto the front of
the fabric. For machine appliqué, use the ear pattern A (reversed). Remove the
1
⁄
4
-inch
seam allowance marked on the pattern if applicable to the appliqué method you are
using.
2. Place an A ear on top of a similarly colored A1
ear, right sides together. Place quilt batting on top.
Sew shapes together, beginning and ending where
marked and leaving the tab opening unsewn. Back-
stitch at the beginning and end of the seam. Clip
curves and turn the shape right side out. Press all
along the sewn edge. Repeat to sew the other ears.
3. Turn under the tabbed edges of one ear, leaving
roughly a
1
⁄
2
-inch (.6 cm) tab. Sew close to the
edge to close the opening. Be sure to backstitch
at the beginning and end of the seam. Repeat for
other ears.
4. Quilt the ears with a simple pattern, such as diago-
nal lines, or with a unique pattern for each ear.
Adding the Borders
Quilt Assembly Diagram
1. Using the Quilt Assembly Diagram, arrange bor-
ders on the proper sides, based on color.
2. Measure down the quilt center and cut the side
Border #1 strips that length. Sew these strips to the
sides of the quilt center. Press toward the strips.
3. Measure across the quilt center and cut the top
and bottom Border #1 strips that length. Sew these
strips to the top and bottom of the quilt center.
Press toward the strips. The quilt should measure
