I made one last week for a baby shower and one for my toddler. I just take random scraps in 4" or 5" blocks and sew them all together and add a gender appropiate very wide border. They're really simple and turn out cute, the border really ties it all together. I did my sons with a dark navy blue print and the one for the shower I did with a bright purple blender. The ladies just oohed and ahhed and it was the simplest thing I've ever done. Someone even asked if I take orders. Good luck!
