I'm thinking bunnies, puppies, ducks, rattles, moon & stars. Most of the fairies and things I'm seeing are too modern/little girl, not newborn. I looked at fatquartershop and we are making progress now!

Maybe not to girly, but a simple one.[ATTACH=CONFIG]421629[/ATTACH]

Have you asked the mom what color scheme or theme she has in the nursery? I recently made a pink, white, grey quilt in chevron design for a modern mom who likes those colors/patterns. The back of it is a pink print with little girls playing, jumping rope, etc. My point is some new mothers have very distinct tastes, so it's good to know what they are if you want the quilt to be loved and used.

The fairies are adorable but that speckled check grabbed my eye.

But a newborn isn't "little" long!

I found the same...many want colored plain prints and are fuzzy about color.

I think I know what you mean, I have just started looking, she's not due til Jan. But I am not impressed with the colors I have seen so far. I'm looking for the traditional, soft baby colors. Something that when completed with be restful, calming, tranquil, no popping wanted.

my favorite quilt store on line, beverlys' fabric, they have the cutest baby fabric, traditional and non, and oodles of panels.

I would look for a pre- cut ensemble - Riley Blake has a lot of coordinated baby girl type fabrics - and of course Moda too - I love getting the fat quarter bundles - you don't have to find coordinating fabric you just need your pattern and you're good to go.

I personally love the Sophie, Collette or Ticklish lines by Moda, definitely feminine without being babyish. Something to grow with baby. Sophie and Collette are older lines may be harder to find.(Ebay)
i as well have a baby quilt to be creating soon(real soon) I will be doing a Black, white, bright pink, polka dot theme Chevron toddler quilt, found a free pattern online too. Google "toddler chevron quilt" the Chevrons are very popular right now, mom loves the Chevron, what she found in the baby stores.
I feel your pain, took me forever to get the plans settled on, mom was having a hard time describing what she wanted.
Good luck!
