I'm so glad you stuck to your guns and gave it. It is so neat to know that it will be loved and cherished. Too bad people don't read the whole thing here before they comment. It looks like there is a lot of agreement with having a quilt a baby boy can grow up with though. I know the little man (DGS) would love one - in fact I'm starting one made out of shirts. I think I'm going to include the pockets and all. I'll bet if i gave him the choice between something cute & baby he would choose the more manly quilt even though he is only 2. The new baby boy (due in December) is going to be getting a smaller one just like it. THANK YOU for the inspiration!!!
