You may want to check with local children hospital and get the opinion of the head nurse who deal with infants, If you decide to make the quilt, you may want to include your findings to the mother with the quilt. When I worked at Childre Hospital in Pittsburgh, quilts were used in the cribs, but not the incurbater. Parent were also instructed how to wrap the baby.

Win-win.
That was a run-on sentence, but you get my drift. :D

But as for the quote, I remember when my little brother still took naps and we would spend the day at my grandma's house. Well, she was afraid to put him in the bed for naps because he was little and rolled around a lot, so she laid out the quilt my mom made for her on her carpeted dining room floor for him to sleep on with a few pillows on one side so he wouldn't roll into the chairs. I think quilts are great for play time, you'd be suprised how many baby blankets I had (only granddaughter and closest great granddaughter) I used to lay them all out on the floor when I was little so I'd have a bigger "play area"
