I don't expect the baby quilt I gift to be part of the decoration in the nursery. I figure the mom has already done the dcorating and has purchased a bed set for the baby. My quilts are for the floor in the living room - to cover the stroller - to put out under a tree - to cover the toddler napping on the couch on a sick day a few years later - or even to put on a toddler bed a couple of years down the road. The color or theme of the nursery doesn't matter for any of those uses. Last year I made a quilt for a new dad - also made one for the baby. I was surprised when I recently got a picture from the mom of one of those quilts in use - it was the one I'd made for the dad - not the one I'd made for the baby. But it was being used and that's what mattered.
