I agree with Donna, and I think the grandmother-to-be should tell the new parents that's the purpose of the quilt when she gives it to them. I'm afraid if she tries to do something to tie in with the nursery, if it's not exactly what they want or like, it'll get put away and never see the light of day! Another thing to think about - given that the parents have such definite likes and dislikes, will they appreciate a quilt? Maybe she should make one for when the baby comes to visit her and give the parents something else.
