I was just going to mention irishPhoenix's quilt and her choice of fabric to you - it's really adorable!
Her thread is http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...g-t202822.html
And this fabric comes in pink too... oh heck i may have to make one just in case lol.

I love the pink lol!! One of each colour you would be prepared for every eventuality - apart from twins!!
if you want I can send you my design-I havn't typed it up yet though! Iwas going to post it on my blog at some stage, I have just been a bit slow with organising things :o

Here is an adorable paper pieced elephant block. I have this pattern PM me if you would like to have it. http://penguinandfish.blogspot.com/2...i-all.html?m=1

They have a cute applique one here: www.victorianaquiltdesign.com. Click on pattern page, then go to past patterns & scroll down until you find it. It also has a lion, giraffe & a hippo. If all else fails you could get a coloring page online & do an applique that way. Anyway you go, I'm sure it will be cute. Happy hunting & sewing Great Auntie!! Congratulations.

My usual approach is to go to coloring pages, download a picture then applique it.
