I agree, babies love bright colors, but nursery colors seem to be gray, lime green and yellow right now. (yuck!)
I'm sorry I didn't say that I wanted to keep it as a quilt. It says picnic to me, too. I'm really new to quilting and have not yet reached the stage of anything other than a quilt.
I started ripping out the seams on the extra pieces last night. It's pretty tedious as the stitching is smaller than I thought. I'm going to get out the tape measure and figure out what size I could make it with cutting it into squares and sashing it. It wouldn't take any more "Mr. Seamripper" time than taking apart the extra pieces and adding them back in.
Thanks for the great ideas.
