The mom has a fairly modern style and they named the baby Paisley Rose.

I really love these fabrics together. I may change one of the grays if I can find a gray paisley. Right now I only have a fat quarter of the brown with the butterflies but I'll get more of it and make it the accent border.

I'll use my standard pinwheel pattern.

Beautiful! Should be a very elegant baby quilt. Can't wait for my daughter to have a baby she will have much the same tastes!

raedar63 10-30-2011 02:29 PM

I think it is beautiful and will last the child past infant/toddler stage.

MamaBear61 10-30-2011 02:30 PM

That is going to be very pretty.

Looks like it will be a very feminine rich looking baby quilt...fit for a queen. Post a picture...would love to see the finished quilt.

Any color goes.........lets remember that not all babies are blond haired and blue eyed. I have made crib quilts with wild animals, jungle prints, bright colors. Had a friend tell me one time that babies recognize bright colors before they see pastel. The colors in the post above are certainly in the pastel category, their patterns are not traditional
baby
prints.

I bet the quilt will turn out beautiful! Please post a pic when you finish it so we can "ooooh & aaawww" over it.

Maia B 10-30-2011 02:35 PM

Lovely and serene!

Jingle 10-30-2011 03:19 PM

I'm sure it will be a beautiful quilt, I like the colors.

redquilter 10-30-2011 03:24 PM

That is going to be very sophisticated and elegant - just like the baby's name. Please show us a pic when completed.

Raggiemom 10-30-2011 03:25 PM

That is going to be a beautiful elegant quilt. I love the fabric you've selected.

lynnsim 10-30-2011 03:35 PM

The baby can use this quilt as she gets olders. Love the colors!

LivelyLady 10-30-2011 04:18 PM

I love the fabric! It's so dainty and elegant!

luana 10-30-2011 04:35 PM

The colors are so relaxing. This baby is going to snuggle in and "sleep like a baby." :-)

grammiepamie 10-30-2011 05:41 PM

I like them very much.

Mickey1 10-30-2011 06:25 PM

Bet you can hardly wait to get started with such a beautiful pallet.

alikat110 10-30-2011 07:32 PM

I have the same focus fabric you do....love it!!!! That will be a beautiful quilt!!!

Fabriholic 10-30-2011 07:39 PM

Love the colors; they're elegant and soothing. Kind of what I plan to do for one of my nieces and her hubby. Can't wait to see the photos:-)

quilt-fanatic 10-30-2011 11:21 PM

Do you have a pattern for the baby quilt? I just finished one with 9 patch and pinwheels but used pastel pink, purple, sage green and a spot of yellow. Taking to the quilter tomorrow.

MadisMomMakesThings 10-30-2011 11:41 PM

That's lovely! I really like unusual baby quilt colors--this one will be just beautiful!

mmdquilts 10-31-2011 01:43 AM

Beautiful choices!

Lady-T 10-31-2011 02:49 AM

Love those fabrics, they're going to make a beautiful quilt!

I like them, a lot.

Agree - it's a lovely color palette. Do post a pic when you're done.

CarrieAnne 10-31-2011 03:39 AM

Very pretty!

quiltbugs 10-31-2011 03:41 AM

I agree that this is going to be a beautiful quilt. You chose really pretty fabrics. Please post pics as you go!

WMUTeach 10-31-2011 04:41 AM

Lovely! Who says babies need soft pastels or brilliant primary colors? I am in process of completing a white, turquoise of several hues and prints and an odd green. (Will be posted in a couple of days.) It is lovely but not traditional baby colors. The mom is a Vera Bradley fan and it is very reminiscent of Bradley colors. Mom, DD, loves the choice. Make it any color you wish and enjoy the beauty of your work and efforts.

Drew 10-31-2011 05:01 AM

Beautiful colors that will last way past baby age.

Pieces2 10-31-2011 05:03 AM

Personally I really can't see this as a baby quilt. Where are the 'cute' baby fabrics. Who cares what mom is, this is a crib quilt for a baby.
These look like fabrics for a granny quilt.

ljs317 10-31-2011 05:20 AM

love those colors

mimee4 10-31-2011 06:05 AM

This is going to be so pretty. Love the baby's name - Paisley.

ccrow99 10-31-2011 06:51 AM

Picturing that in pinwheel....very nice!! Colors are perfect.

alfosa421 10-31-2011 06:55 AM

Like the color combination-looks antiqy(anteekee) to me

NanaCsews2 10-31-2011 07:36 AM

I think it would be lovely and very well received. Go into many of the retail stores and brown is in for babies and children. If you feel a little color is called for, pale pink or a light teal would look very nice added to what you already have. IMO

matraina 10-31-2011 07:45 AM

Please post a picture of the finished product.

hoppa 10-31-2011 08:06 AM

this is going to be a beautiful quilt,looking forward to seeing a pic

Those would make a very subtle and soothing pinwheel quilt. :thumbup:
"Paisley Rose" What an original and pretty name!
