Elephant Quilt

Elephant Quilt in progress Trying to decide about a background ... I originally planned for the viney dark, but the elephant gets lost. I didn't like the white when I first laid it out, but in the picture I kind of like it. Now I'm thinking maybe an off-white background tone-on-tone and then heavily quilt swirls in a deep red color. This part will be the center of the piece and then 2" strips in random lengths all around the edges from all of the fabrics used in the elephant. Maybe 12 x 12 blue medallions in the corners too.
