I made several baby quilts in a sampler style with all different colors. I had bits and pieces of this and that and it also could be used as an "I Spy" quilt for a little one. "I spy an apple" or "I spy a bug", whatever! I have gotten a lot of compliments on making them. I also use pastels, bold colors (reds and greens and yellows). It doesn't matter. Just make something large enough and fun enough for a baby/toddler to keep warm with, drag around the house, the yard, in the car. I just gave one yesterday as a shower gift to my granddaughter. It was the hit of the shower. Pleased me, pleased my granddaughter and I know little "Bubba" will have a friend to take with him everywhere. Edie
