How should I quilt this? Suggestions welcome

I would stitch in the ditch everywhere then cross hatch the background of the elephant blocks, do a simple cable in the sashings and do charm tacks (Quiltmaker magazine term) in the cornerstones.
I'd also stitch diagonally through the 4-patch blocks in the border. Since this is going to a child and will be used and washed a lot, it will need a moderate amount of quilting to hold together over time.
Cute design--he will love it!

I would SITD and then do a stipple in the white areas. Lori Kennedy at http://www.theinboxjaunt.com/ did a leaf motif that might look cute in the sashing for this weeks Tuesday Tutorial.
tried to do a link but not working for some reason today.

You made an absolutely adorable quilt. I would SITD and depending on how comfortable you are with FMQ I think the circles would be cute for the background making it look like the elephant is blowing bubbles from his trunk.
