What if the new baby boy's name is stitched into the quilt as part of the quilting? ;)

Very cute quilt. I made a quilt for each of my 5 grandchildren and pieced their name on the top of the front of the quilt. Wish I could put pictures on here to show you. I got the letters from a book I had. Looks like you have a lot of ideas coming your way tho'

I like that idea!

Thank S so much everyone!! I'm still hem hawing...experimented a little with appliqué today which didn't go well...

Be sure to post when you've made your decision and final product. It's a darling quilt and I can appreciate the hard spot you're in.

I see the two yellow strips in the center of the top going down. I would put his first name down the right side of the pure yellow strip and then the last name down the left side of the yellow orange strip below it. (First thing that jumped out at me.)

I would put his first name in the small border of the horizontal block and his last night in the bottom small border of the same block. Maybe the first blue block on the top row or the light orange block of the top row. And not in like a black either. A light gray maybe? So the letters wouldn't be Huge. Just my thoughts.

I think this is your best bet so it does not over power the front of your lovely quilt

I would love to put the name on the back, but she specifically wants it on the front. Sigh. I'm going to try and find someone who has an embroidery machine who can embroider the name on one of the blocks as suggested previously. The quilt is on the larger side of what I wanted, so really don't want to make it bigger if I can help it. i so appreciate all the help and kind comments!

The quilt is very cute. But unlike most I think it would look great with the name done with black letters appliqued right on top of the colorful blocks on the front. Sewgood and I are thinking alike on this one.
