    I think maybe a navy instead of black?

    The dark green that you have in the mix reads as very dark to me in comparison to the other fabrics shown. Maybe that could be your "black"?

    I like a lighter background than black. You used a dark navy to make wrinkles on the trunk of the purple won, black would probably look good there and maybe somewhere that looks like a shadow

    Wow great elephant. I don't think I would use the black, maybe a grey?

    I would go with the grey (a gentler color but good contrast).

    May I ask you who design your big elephant pattern. I is so big and beautiful.
    My daughter loves elephants and your purple one is just eye catching.

    I love your big purple elephant. I think the black would be too stark of a contrast. I vote for a gray. There used to be an old joke about seeing pink elephants if you had too much to drink. What a hoot to make a pink elephant quilt! I love your colors and design. Please show us the finished one!

    Thank you, the name of the pattern is the elephant abstractions by violet craft. Ladies if you were to make this quilt to sell or for someone how much would you charge for just the top?
