I had a friend who when I asked about baby room colors.. she said any color that you think of when I say coffee. So browns was here baby color theme. I had never heard of brown for babies. The good part is you have a project ready f the next baby gift occasion.

Glad you were able to find out her preference prior to giving her a quilt. When I make a baby quilt, I talk to the mom and ask what color the nursery is. Then I can decide if I'm going to blend in with or accent the nursery. I should mention that I never make baby quilts that look like a little child's quilt. As of yet, anyways.

Your quilt is just adorable, and you know perhaps, the Mom would love it too. Sometimes even though we are set in our ways about color, sometimes something comes along in another color and we love it. This is such a cute quilt and honestly I just can't see an all brown quilt for a baby. How boring!!!! And the quilt is for the baby, not the Mom, and we all know that babies like BRIGHT things not dull boring colors. Just my 2 cents worth.

NONE of my clothing is brown.
Like the others have said at least you have a heads up for the next time.

For all who desire to make a bright colored or child prints quilt for monochromatic moms you say "this is a floor quilt for tummy time it is designed to stimulate the baby's cognitive development".
