There are some wonderful panel prints out there, and a number have smaller blocks to go with it. Those are easy to put together, and to make it special, you could hand quilt it. I usually follow the outlines of the object in each block and hand quilt those. Make it extra special by doing a prairie point border, or piano key -- both very easy to do, and very 'showy'. You have lots of time to experiment. The Churn Dash block is wonderful to use the smaller blocks in the center, too, if you want some piecing in it. I totally agree with TanyaL, though -- make it a BABY quilt, not a smaller version of an adult quilt, by using baby prints, colors, etc. Should use very high quality fabric as the quilt will be washed many, many times, and be dragged around by baby. Enjoy the process, though - those are fun to make!
