I have a grandbaby due in October. So far the little bugger will not cooperate with the ultrasound (has crossed it's legs). The problem is I am so wanting to start a quilt. Any ideas of patterns and colors that I could start that is not all pink or blue. The mom does love blue and red, but I want this to look at least somewhat babyish. Any ideas?

Orange, Yellow and Green.
A Duck quilt would be gender neutral.

Teddy bears always work!

If you google free baby quilt patterns, you will get lots.

Here are just some of them, hope it helps

I love the fat cat patterns and most of them would be fine for either a boy or a girl.

I made one! It was perfect! My friend loved it! The baby (ellie) loves ducks now! She's 1.Its her favorite! :thumbup:

Just use the primary colors, red, blue and yellow, very bright and wether it is a boy or girl it will work.

Duckies, teddy bears, turtles, are some themes to consider.
Maybe it's a girl...and she is a lady :wink:

One time I did a baby quilt 9P w/alternating white blocks. In the white blocks, I hand quilted a duck, rabbit, dog, cat, etc. Came out really cute and was gender neutral.

By the way, congrats grammie!!!!

I was going to say just useall different pastel colors!

I would make it in pastels, would be cool for a baby

This would be perfect. Babies see primary colors first. That is why so many toys are those bright colors. You could make a pastel one after he/she is born.

I figure it is going to be a girl since they want a boy. A little girl would be nice since I had just 2 boys. lol

I have a pattern that uses primary colors, that is what I want to do, but I am having a hard time finding the right green that doesn't look to old (if you know what I mean) I found a kind of country blue and red that have stars through it, and found a nice bright yellow, but the green has me stumped. I do have one more store to check, just haven't got there yet.

thanks for all the ideas, if you have made a nice gender non-specific quilt and could post a picture, I would love to see them!

I have a beautiful pattern that I made for my grand son it is from Australia if you would like a copy

Red, Blue and Yellow are primary colors. Orange, Green and Purple are secondary. Then you go out the color wheel from there.

This is what I made for my first grandbaby. I started before we knew the gender but it turned out to be a boy. Adam is 13 months old now.

Adam is a doll! I bet he ikes his quilt.
