My goodness, you do have a challenge on your hands. It's not fabric I would choose for an infant irrespective of gender! Sorry I wouldn't have a clue where to begin because I can't see frills & flounces, buttons or bows with their choice of, what is judging by the picture, mannish looking fabric. The penguins are cute but the writing and colour combo doesn't really lend itself to a baby quilt. Good luck with this and I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
