    Default Baby preference question

    I'm curious & wondering how many of you like the standard of pink for girls & blue for boy when making baby quilts?

    Please say your preference, & if not the standard what color you'd prefer.

    Thanks!

    I don't really use ONLY pink and blue, but I try to make the quilts something that they will like even when they are older. I try not to make anything toooooo baby, just something that is nice.

    I'm rather fond of using yellow with splashes of other colors. Yellow is such a 'baby' color to me.

    I like bright colors. Almost never use "baby colors". Hot pink, purple, lime green (you get the idea)

    I generally go with what mom wants, unless the baby is a little older. My favorite baby quilt I ever made was called "Sewfari", it was a really neat pattern. It had appliqued safari animals such as an elephant, a giraffe, a lion, etc. The animals had chenille trim, which added a wonderful texture to the quilt. I used all different colors - light blue, red, purple, yellow, green, orange - and I pieced the scraps together to make the binding. The mom told me a few years later, when the girl I made it for was about 3 or 4, that every night at bedtime she would pick a different color of the binding to hold onto when she went to sleep. It's a very happy quilt.

    Peckish I would love to see a photo! I am a pink or blue gal, green if necessary.

    If I don't know what the decorating scheme is I use primarily yellow and green.

    Totally depends on the personality of the mother. Blue is my favorite color to begin with so many quilts end up that color. I love pink with brown for girls.
