Am thinking about going with the black & white with bright pink and lime green touches. What do you think?
One of the most outstanding baby quilts I have seen is black & white with the words: eat. sleep. repeat. appiqued in a deep fuschia on the lower left quadrant. Not babyish, but definitely for a baby, and very striking. But at this moment I cannot find the picture I kept of it. Drat.
Same idea would be dramatic with just "Sophia" appliqued on whatever B&W background pattern you choose. Being appliqued, the name could wait until you're sure that's the one they're keeping! (A friend called her unborn son by name for six months, and a week before his birth decided she was tired of that name and picked a very different one for him--glad I had not written the name on anything yet!)
