    Thanks for all the encouragement. Going to go with these ears and will just see where it goes.

    I really like the ears. I think it looks 3-D. You have a good choice of fabrics for the ears.

    Can you add some crinkle stuff to ears (like cereal bags, potato chips bags)? I think the baby would love having ears that made noise when grabbed. Just a thought!

    perfect ears - i like that each ear print matches one of the other elephants.

    For a bit of the unexpected and to make the pattern "my own", I would try a very small black & white check for all of the ears and make them dimensional and attach them only at the side so that they stand away from the body (as a real
    elephant's ears do) - this would look something like a capital "D" - 2 pieces of ear, right sides together and a piece of batting on top - sew around round part and leave straight part open - turn right side out and you have an ear. Sew the straight part on to the elephant and fiddle with it so that it stands out from the quilt.

    I hope I didn't overstep any bounds, but you asked for any and all suggestions.
