What about some rag quilts? You can go to the Accuquilt.com site to look at examples. I use the die-cutting system (I have a SizzixPro machine) & I can use Accuquilt dies and the rag dies are great. The problem with flannel (for baby) is after they're washed, they tend to pile or pill (sp?). The colors you've mentioned sound right. Accuquilt is also having a contest, so they have a site up of customers quilts. It may give you some ideas.
