Crib quilt panel

I was given a crib quilt panel by a dear friend who keeps me from going to
the pore house. Well. What a puzzle. It was alphabet animal blocks and
adorable. They'd printed it so it was 3 blocks by 10. Really. We all know
there's 26 letters in the alphabet but they'd tossed in cute stuff like "now
I can sing my ABC's".
Still, I had to cut the blocks apart and reassemble since I didn't want
a quilt that very weird size. Tried to lay them out. Easy? Right? I know
the alphabet but there was 2 Fs and no X. Huh? I couldn't think of an
animal whose name began with X. I guess they couldn't either. Someone had
tossed a Fox in for the X. 'Just in case' some little guy learns the
alphabet from this dear little print, I took the safe way out and appliquéd
an X for the missing critter. Is there an animal with an X name? I
considered yo-yo but that's not an animal and not an X either. I really
need adult supervision. Polly

Well, I googled "Are there any animals beginning with x?"
and this is what the answer was:
Answer:

Yes there are several:

There's the x-ray fish (also called Pristella maxillaris but x-ray is common
name), which lives in the waters of south-western Texas, Mexico, Central and
South America. There's the xami hairstreak, a butterfly with worldwide
distribution.


There's xanthippe's shrew which lives in Kenya and Tanzania. There's the
xantic sargo (another fish). There's Xantus's hummingbird, Xantus's
leaf-toed gecko and xantus's swimming crab (John Xantus de Vesey was
obviously a busy little zoologist).


There's the xestus fangblenny and the xingu corydora(yet another fish) and
the x-l spring tui chub (which is another fish and a bit of a strech but
still technically qualifies). Also, Xucaneb robber frog or xylophagous
leafhopper xuthus swallowtail or xeric ambersnail.

This is hardly and exhaustive list.

Or you could try something with names:

NAMES:
Xavier, Xana, Xanoca, Xodus, Xolto, Xtera, Xaltier, Xena, Xantigo, Xylo,
Xenia, Xenara, Xenu


Pretty hard to find one that is instantly recognizable to go with the other
letters.

Good luck, I think you will find something Polly, I know you won't let it
beat you.

LOL. Okay. We give you 500 points and a gold star for being thorough. I
guess you're saying yo-yo won't work? Polly

I agree with Polly - huge praise for a great reply!

Could you have an elephant playing a xylophone?

'X if for the xylophone the elephant is playing' g

Or, as Di suggests - a name:

'Xana the elephant'

Xs and Os are for hugs and kisses. Could you use the X for a kiss
and work it into a 'love message' for the child?
