Here's the thread painting I tried to post last night. My description on page 1 describes where everything goes. Since I didn't have a copyright-free image to work from, I tried my best to recreate everything & the giraffe is off-center. I'd have the sun rays run into & under the giraffe & there would be more room for the clouds & wind on the actual quilt.
Good luck!

Looks like I can finally post pictures again. Here is my quilt top. I'll post another photo when it's quilted. Maybe that one will end up right-side up ![Smile](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png)

I would outline quilt the giraffe and then quilt the seams internally following the seam lines so he will look taller and thinner. Almost all the lines are vertical so it would seem easy to quilt it like that. Cute design. Let us see what you decide on.

on the background i would do a meandering that is trianglular, i did this recently and it came out great. you can cross lines, you do not have to follow the seams but can cross them, you can make the quilt design med to large so that it reflects the size of the background triangles. for the giraffe i like the suggestion of circles.
