myself, I wud. BUT you has to keep in mind that you are not this baby, and what with how peeps feel about the purple telleytubbie and all that went down with that, maybe your sells will be better if you kept it more manlike coloures.

just a thought, thow i love all coloures myself.

I've even seen some black lately in baby quilts--not that I would do it.

Yes. I think that purple, green, yellow etc. can all be used in either boy or girl quilts.

I don't believe in gender coding with color... my boys have liked pink and purple on and off, finally settling firmly into blue and green as their "favorite" colors. I wonder how much of that has to do with cultural exposure? To me, it is an awful things to to do to a child, rob them of enjoyment of color based on gender stereotypes. Sighhhhh.... I must be cranky staying up so late = )

All things considered, I'd ask your daughter her opinion. Go for it if she is comfortable with it.

ETA: or maybe I'm just cranky because my oldest son constantly thinks I will like something because it is pink. And I am a girl, so pink must be my favorite color... at least that is what he is taught at school. It doesn't matter how I try to explain, he is 100% certain I love pink. I'm just lucky he cares what I like at all = )

ETAA: or maybe I'm just plain old cranky...

Yes, but depends if it goes with the other colors you're using. My DH is a purple lover.

I'd say it depends on the baby's father's viewpoint. Some dads don't like purple for their boys, some don't care ;)

I was given a quilt at my baby shower (22 years ago), made from a pre-print....mostly mice on blues and pinks. My son has always treasured it. I don't think the color has anything to do with it in his case. For him it's more about how it came to be his. If I was making a baby quilt for a boy, I wouldn't shy away from purple at all. Of course my response is so late, you've probably finished the quilt by now! Congratulations on the new addition to the family!
