You can find a number of mountain theamed panels at eQuilter, you might have to search but I saw a couple that might work. If you are thinking sunbonnet sue, check out Seams to be Sew. Right now she is creating Sue's and Sam's for every state. Her craftsy link is below and her web site is http://www.seamstobesew.com/projects/

How about Sue with hiking boots, backpack and walking stick. I like your idea of simple mountains in background and
the previous idea of animals in the picture. Good luck!

Was thinking about applique a simple mountain scene, as I haven't much exper. in applique, with maybe sunbonnet sue holding balloons. I need help with locating a mountain pattern or a panel that can work for a baby girl. Thank you all!

Cat, I got the new Quiltmaker magazine yesterday and there are a couple of quilt patterns you may want to check out. The first is Mountain Lil's Quilt http://www.quiltmaker.com/patterns/d...html?idx=26153 (I really like this one!) The other is Forest Floor http://www.quiltmaker.com/patterns/d...html?idx=26156

Here's the main link of the magazine: http://www.quiltmaker.com/issues/Quiltmaker-May-June-17
Looking forward to see what you decide to go with!

Google “Moon Over the Mountain quilts” to see some beautiful quilts made with this block. Definitely a simple applique pattern. Here’s a link to the free Quilters Cache pattern.

I love this Sue idea! It could be one of the blocks among the Moon Over the Mountain blocks.

Here’s a cute one where she’s holding an umbrella which you could change to a walking stick. Couldn’t find one with a backpack, but that’s a really great idea.

At this point you're probably overwhelmed with ideas!

Applique note: I used some fusible web for a baby applique quilt, but I felt it made the quilt stiffer than I would have liked. Next time I would probably just use a temporary bonding spray (505) to hold the pieces down while I machine quilted around them. Or glue, or simply pin them.
