I go with what feels right for the family. If I know they are following a certain theme with the baby I try to have something that works with it. I try to not look like a baby quilt, but make one that will work through time for the child. For a mom that wanted a more traditional baby quilt I did pastel tumbling blocks on a white background that had tiny teddy bears in pink and blue. I have done "Tigger" as the main focus in a bright green, orange and yellow quilt. I have used plaids, drawing out 2 or 3 colors for emphasis. Some have been scrap quilts. I want momma happy and something that the child can love and use comfortably beyond the baby years.

If we don't know the gender of the baby or the theme, I use yellow and green. Sometimes throw a little bit of other colors in to spice it up!

In a roundabout way I try to find out what color Mom is using or what theme and go from there.

I make baby quilts with all different colors but usually what the parents prefer or have done the nursery in.

I make a lot of baby quilts and very rarely use blue and pink. I try to find a fabric that matches the theme of the nursery, i.e. animals, dolls, vehicles etc. And I have also used wild floral fabrics which are usually are favorites of the families because they are different.

I made this baby quilt as a teaching quilt (colors, animals, letter names, sounds,) which will take the baby through the first seven years. Can you guess I was a teacher (Grades 1, 2, and 3)?

Using very bright colors, as these can be unisex.

I'm not a pink girl but will use it for girls if they REALLY like the color. Sometimes it is good to think outside the box.

I try to make mine using many different colors unless there is a specific preference.

This is one I recently made (rag quilt) for a great granddaughter. I really don't have a color preference. I have even used zebra print.

If they are registered at a store, I see what there theme is, then go from there. I will use the colors they have chosen, but not go babyish. Pinwheels,
