I just made a baby quilt with the "Depression" pattern. I used all the colors of the rainbow, both pastel and bright. And then I used a swirly tonal in oranges, greens, blues, pinks as the border and binding. The back was a multi-colored stripe. It worked just fine. Besides which, when the child gets older and drags it all over the place it won't show the dirt that much!!!!!!

Just a thought! Edie

One green. One blue.

Yellow and green

Peach !!

I am a newborn nursery RN. Please don't make the other quilt yellow. While they can be adorable, they also make the babies look jaundice. We all cringe when we see a baby wearing or wrapped in yellow. Does it have to be pastel? Some of the best looking baby blankets I have seen have big, bold colors. Newborns also see those colors better than the pastels. Virg

Primary colors - Red, yellow, blue. The brighter the better.

Ditto - however,I have made red in the past.

Although I am not sure of the difficulty, but what about a child, visually stimulating quilt, with different shapes of all bright colors? Maybe I am nuts too?? lol

yellow. that and green are almost gender neutral although I bet the green goes to boy and yellow to girl.

Funny, I just realized, what about orange?

I agree with Cathie; yellow or lavender, or the two combined. I think that yellow and lavender or yellow and blue look lovely together.
