The fabrics for baby quilts are not made to please the baby for the most part. They are chosen to please the parent. Babies want to be warm and snuggly, unless there is a strong contrast and bright colors they don't really see the pattern. How many babies request quilts to match the decor of the nursery? I like these soft and subtle colors, very soothing for nervous parents who need to just calm down and cuddle the baby. When my boys were babies they slept in a room that had been papered in sale bin paper featuring orange roosters, the quilts were made from scraps and salvaged clothing. I don't recall them complaining about the decor nor did it seem to make a difference in their ability to graduate from college. So relax and if you like the fabric then get some and use it with abandon, you might even make a quilt with it.
