Have the quilt ready for your niece when she is receiving visitors after the baby is born. I do this when life is too full to make a quilt that is what I envision in the span of a week.

excellent advice! And for applique, you might look on-line or in color books for the outlines of what you want--are you using the baby clothes as is (i.e. dressing the little boy in them?).
