I'll be at my computer later & can give you some ideas but the one thing to keep in mind is that baby quilts tend to be washed as often as once a week (or if parent is very particular about cleanliness, sometimes even more often if Baby is drooling or spitting up on quilt). Quilting stitches generally do not fare so well with that amount of washing unless quilted no farther than 2" apart.

Honestly, after the problems I had with my first quilt (avatar) that was SID and was up to 9" apart in some areas, I've learned my lesson. I typically do stitch lines that are 3/4-1" apart but use Warm & Plush batting and cotton thread to maintain the cuddliness. Everyone who's picked up that W&N quilt with just about the bare minimum quilting for that batting and compares it to W&P with 1" or less spacing has agreed. And with closer stitching they don't get snapped stitches in the wash.
