A quilt pattern you'll never forget! Simple raw-edge applique, free-form placement of fabrics and big-stitch accents are all you need to make this amazing wall hanging perfect for a child's room. Let your coordinated scraps make a statement with this sweet Ticker-Tape Elephant Wall Hanging that's fun to make from start to finish!

In this part 1 of 3 Quilter's Skill Builders online video classes brought to you by Annie's Creative Studio, quilting expert Nancy McNally demonstrates how to print out the pattern at 100% and tape together your multi-piece elephant diagram.

  • Dig through your scrap stash for color-coordinated fabrics.
  • Print the pattern pieces at 100%.
  • Tape the pattern pieces together into the correct position.
