I am pretty sure that is called a square in a square block pattern. I have used it many times in different quilts as a setting block in a two block quilt. It adds a lot of snazz with very little work.
I was able to find a very vintage baby animals pattern. I cut out a baby lion, giraffe and a bear. Wouldn't you know the elephant was missing from the pattern envelope. They are almost a flat animals with embroidery to give the features of the faces. I am thinking from the fifties maybe? They will be really easy for baby to snuggle with.
