I make todler blankets big enough to go over the sides of a crib. Because after baby is so old (wich takes no time at all) The baby blanket goes on the wall and you move up to todler beds.I also like them that sise so you can cover the carier in the winter. well I am a mom hopefully not grandma for at least 5 more years.I love the bright colors with black.I think if I was to make another one it would be black white and red because those are the first colors baby will seeI would use basic shapes and some faces aplicaed on too.Animals with Tan and some pastels like pale pink pale yellow and baby blue in a log cabin with the animals fussie cut for the middle would look really nice!my mom did a log cabin in shades of pink with teady bears on the middle block. she loves it!(I have 5 kids)we are working on a bug in the jar with a black back ground.I don't think anything that you work a whole theme around could be un fasionable, maby not trendy but whatever you do It will look good!
