Thanks, SusieQ. I'm sure there are tons of cat blocks that would work for this. The owl blocks were from a potholder pattern and I just put them with the strips and added the piano key border. I gave this one to my great niece. I like it so much I plan on making another.

Rose- thank you so much!!! They are both wonderful patterns!!! As I said I'll be making more than one quilt for my little darling haha!
All 3 of my babies were boys so this little girl is going to be so much fun! I would have been just as thrilled for a boy though. Maybe next?? Who knows? Our family seems to only have one gender except my parents who had 2 of each.

I'm not one of those ruffles and lace kind of women, so I wanted to share.
Congrats on the upcoming baby. I hope you have more.

bkay- that's very good advice!!! What a sweet girl your step-granddaughter is. Point taken!!!
Actually, I will take cues from my DIL and she's not a ruffles type haha.
But I will ask before I make things, in fact I already have. Gotta be a good MIL!!!

SusieQH, I did a few Sunbonnet Sue for a girl, and Overall Bill for boys -- all applique, but I really liked the way they turned out. I used scraps of denim from mostly worn-out jeans for overalls, and bright colors otherwise. I'll try to attach pictures here.

These are just a couple - I made two of the Overall Bill baby boy quilts -- very similar, but differences such as a different color for a shirt on a block -- they were going to two different sisters who both had baby boys within 6-8 weeks of one another. The other one was for the granddaughter of a good friend of mine.
