My backdoor neighbors are a young couple who just had their first baby–a little girl. She is BEAUTIFUL. And the picture announcement they sent me shows a healthy baby.
When I realized they were expecting, I started a “girl” baby quilt, and along the way found this perfect fabric for it: Heather Ross’s “Girls in Trees” (“Studio Edit,” #409271).
The block is Bonnie Hunter’s “Four Patch Fun,” which is her 2025 leader/ender block. It is free on her blog. I used the pantograph “TwoFold Feathers” by Hermione Agee and the Signature cotton thread “Petal.” The fabrics are all from my stash, and I used the same fabric for the sashing pieces as I had enough of it–and I love the animals it includes, especially the owl. I also like the striped binding cut on the bias.
Here’s a close-up of one of the blocks, so you can see I tried to include as many interesting animal and foliage images as I could–along with other images, like the bikes.
Sheep and the owl peeking out to say hello:
I make a quilt like this one to be loved and USED, and I hope that as this little girl grows older, she will notice all the things this quilt holds for her.

What a beautiful quilt and gift.
Aw, such a nice baby quilt! Love the little mice! I’ll have to check out Bonnie’s version.

Bonnie’s post showed both plain and sashing. She is working on a two-color scrappy version. I made the plain version earlier this year as well–as a donation quilt. This block is so fun to make and uses a lot of stash remnants. https://louisaenright.com/2025/08/17/mid-august-2025-sunday-update/
Gorgeous quilts!
Wonderful! That design certainly leads your eye all over the quilt. The fabrics you picked are gorgeous!
This quilt is absolutely adorable Louisa!! Perfect quilting design over all the fun little critters etc. I really love using striped fabric cut on the bias for your binding and oh my that backing fabric is icing on the cake!!!! 💗
