    I like the C and turtles. The blue may be a bit intense with the softer look of the other fabric. Put up anothe rmore gentle blue and lets see it again!

    Like the idea!

    Love the chenille and the turtles, but think I'd go with a blue that has a little more green in it. Maybe a lighter shade of teal.

    I like the chenille it adds texture which is important for babies. He' s going to be staring at those turtles and the solid dark that or the brighter blue will be a nice contrast.

    I really like your combination - although a slightly brighter blue would be even better! Can't wait to see what you do with it.

    I really like the three together. The chenille will be so soft!

    Love it! I like the idea of the chenille because of the tactile feature, babies love to explore different textures. You might want to back the chenille with some thing to stabilize it. can't wait to see it finished!

    I'm with not mixing fabric types but you are on right path. A pale yellow as accent would work.

    I like it . I have used vintage chenille many times for backing on baby quilts. I love it but it is a little harder to quilt.
