Thanks for all the input y'all!! Lori, I thought about the 2-button eyes, but was afraid they might be a bit bulky since the heads of the animals will only be around 3" in diameter. I did find the eyes AND noses with the posts at homesew.com and ordered them this morning, so thanks for that idea pattypurple! I'm just hoping they'll be right size-wise. Thanks to those of you who were concerned about him getting things in his mouth, but I already checked with his Mom and his CP is so severe that he's incapable of getting buttons off or of getting them to his mouth. And dunster, I already have corduroy with a thin grain (for lack of a correct term) to use as logs in a campfire (which will have Angelina fibers in it for the crackling effect) and some of a much wider grain to use as a tree trunk with velvet as the leaves of that tree! :c)
Y'all ROCK! Thanks so much for the input! I'm really hoping this quilt turns out great!
