I hand quilt so I would echo around the elephants and 1/4 inch into (or away from the sashing.) that way it will make the elephants pop out to be noticed by small eyes

I live it!!

As mentioned by others, I'd probably echo around the elephants, then SITD or cross-hatch in the sashing. Your quilt is just beautiful. The fabrics are lovely and it's got a timeless look to it. Great job!!

What a delight! Could you SID around the blocks then tie it?

As usual it comes down to "what are the quilting recommdations for your batting?" Depending on the block size- stippling around the elephants, SID on the outside of the inner border and then SID around each of the blocks in the outer border. Also I think that I would se white thread for the stippling or maybe a pale yellow. I use invisible thread for SID. Pretty quilt!!!!!
