Great stitching and a great piece, I love elephants. You've probably got the best bit left to stitch - the calf. :applesauce: :applesauce:

Looks like there's a lot of confetti stitches but the piece looks great! Can't wait to see your progress.

That is a fabulous design and you are making great progress with it. It is going to be awesome when it is done. Hang in there with all those grey shades, they are worth it. :D
