The elephant or the donkey: the choice is yours, both politically, and in terms of quilting. Whether you love one of the animals for political reasons or something else entirely, you can quilt them!

Now I’m not about to get political. That’s not what quilting is about, but regardless of which animal you prefer, we can all have fun quilting them. They’re both so cute!

In the video below, Jenny Doan from Missouri Star Quilt Company focuses on stitching up both of these babies. Here’s what you’ll need for each:

Each quilt has a pretty similar structure: they’re pixelated from multiple squares. Depending on how you wish to quilt it (in terms of colors), you can alter the pixels as you wish.

In Jenny’s case, the background is entirely white. Depending on how you make your animal look, you can obviously switch up that color as well.

The entirety of the quilt is made up of the little squares or half square triangles, so construction is beyond easy. Just choose the 5″ squares you’d like, and you’re ready to go!
