I don't think it's "ugly" at all, but I certainly wouldn't give it as a shower gift if I thought it was.
The colors may be a bit somber for an new baby, but I bet a young boy (maybe 5-10yrs) would love to have it.
If all else fails, send it to me LOL

baby quilts do not have to be the typical colors - I can see the little guy dragging this around after the baby stage. I think it is wonderful and would have loved receiving this as a gift for one of my sons.

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!!!

I did... and you might be interested to know I pieced the entire top on my featherweight which looks just like yours! :-D

I am amazed at the colors/patterns that mom's are using for babies nowdays. I'm betting this mom will LOVE it!
At my age, I still want to use pink and blue, bunnies, etc. but I know that very few young mothers share my taste.
I think it's incredibly cute, and yes.. please give it! It's probably just not your taste - but you nailed it as bohemian/modern!
