Some more info to hopefully help you all help me.
I have a large selection of SoFine thread (50 weight poly) that I intend on using for the top, and I use Superior's SuperBob pre wounds for the bobbin (60 weight). The interior of the elephant measure about 30", so just outlining won't work. I will need some type of fill for both the elephant and the background, probably with differing densities to set the elephant apart. I have already SID around the elephant to stabilize everything (it makes the FMQ a lot easier). And I haven't mentioned what to do on the border (3" wide).
