Feedback I get is that the quilts are good for placing a baby on the floor when little and as they get older helps them learn colors, and words and later is fun activity as the mom asks "where is the cow?"
I don't want to stray from the "two color quilt" that started this thread. But I agree with sewingpup that babies and young enjoy the colors and prints in "I Spy" quilts and they can be terrific learning tools that are just fun. Floor quilts are a good choice. I made one that my son gifted to a friend's baby and without my knowing it, it fit perfectly into a play pen. Who knew that any one even used playpens any more! Can't locate the photo but I was about 48" square and all reproduction prints in reds, whites, and blues.
