Thank you everyone for your ideas and comments. I think I will try this pattern for the baby quilt, the stars are a good idea.
The quilt will be made to be used, I agree, colorful with some prints and hopefully it will be dragged around and loved. Whenever I give a quilt, I put a note in it that it is to be used and loved. My work going into it is free therapy for me and enjoyment, I would hate to think of it put away just to be kept safe.
Now to go think of colors.
