You did a really fine job with this quilt. The leaves you quilted and the 3 D butterflies are good touches. I bet she loves it. Like you, I think a step grandchild needs to be welcomed enthusiastically and a wonderful quilt is an excellent way to do it.
You say you have trouble with biases. Do you sew across 2 square then cut to get your HST's? If not, try it, it will reduce the bias difficulty to almost nothing.
