Since it has already been mailed, I'd not worry about it at all. It is adorable for a little boy, and since it will match his room, mom can use it more as a crib quilt to match the decor. Since you are concerned about it, I would go ahead and make him another one in addition to this one, one that she can lay on the floor for him to play on, one that would eventually (maybe) be his drag-along quilt. The quilt is beautiful, and your great-grandson is adorable!
