yea, this is a hard one for me because I love to embellish my quilts- but I would never, ever put buttons on a baby quilt--im not sure i would even trust a yo yo unless it was totally appliqued. I do a lot of 3 d pinwheels on my baby quilts. Lots of chenille- ric rak- anything to give it texture. some i tie off in places even though it has been quilted just to give it some character.
