I have some of the abstract fabrics from that range (stripes and squares rather than animals) and they're great. I always do multicoloured non-gendered baby quilts and everyone's loved them so far.

We run to girls in my family. My mother is one of three girls and a boy, and so is her mother. My cousins are three of each, but if you take my aunt, she has two sons and a daughter, and has seven granddaughters with no grandsons (though one isn't biologically related so in terms of genetics, that's six granddaughters). A dietician I knew once said she's known this to happen in other families, and she reckons there may be something genetic going on which causes the male foetuses to be miscarried. I know that my mother had a lot of miscarriages, so perhaps there's something in it.

How about multicoloured, including monkeys AND ladybirds? I mean, neither creature is exactly gender-specific, it's not like putting princesses on a quilt. She could be giving birth to a male future entomologist!

The only girls we've got are steps--which is good, but we don't have granddaughters of our own.

Now--------the daddies determine the sex. My son in law is one of two brothers. And his dad is one of two brothers.

Which would you bet on???????????????
