And that is just what I would tell the mom. This quilt is not for the baby's room. It is for using it on the living room floor, or for covering the baby in his carseat, or..... This quilt will be the utility or drag-around quilt (the baby's favorite {{{wink wink}}}}. I'm in the same dilemma. The mom told me that the theme of the boys' room will be nautical. Well, I already have a panel in primary colors. So I'll use it and make the same "explanation" when it is given.
