My Second Baby Quilt

I picked this material for my friend's first grandbaby boy! I liked the cute animals especially with the elephants! The back material, I thought, looked like a starry night. After I washed it and was ironing it, I noticed a flaw.  I decided to applique an elephant over it.  Sometimes solutions to problems can work out to be better than the original plan; I think the elephant added a needed bit of color to the backside.
The baby lives in Georgia, so I used flannel, instead of batting, for the filling to make its weight lighter.
