I was in a similar situation with making one for my grandson - they wanted yellow and gray or a red, white & blue (patriotic?). I believe baby quilts should be bright - so I did a chevron with the blue and white (I found the fat quarters of the fabric line: To the Moon and Back.). The in the right hand lower quadrant I made a red heart with the variety of reds I had. It was inspired by one I found on the Accuquilt Website. The back was a blue flannel with stars and moons. My label said, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, Do you know how loved you are?" I believe I found that on Designs by JuJu. I just couldn't do the yellow and gray - way too drab. And I felt my Chevron had the right colors for the Patriotic idea - but conveyed my adoration for my grandbaby. He the first and may be my only grandbaby so I am just over the moon having him in our lives.
