Sounds similar to a quilt my mom made for each grandchild. Seems like there is about 12 different animals. Some had floppy ears & some had tails out of rickrack or embroidery floss. They were appliqued down & also the faces & some of the details on the bodies were embroidery. You could paint the details on or machine embroidery if you are that talented. The babies loved them. My children are in their 30's & 40's & still have them. I will see if I can find 1 & post a picture tomorrow.
