Seems the trend around here now is to have a "father to be" party at the same time as the shower...the men take diapers and usually meet at a sports bar for lunch...I would go ahead and give the quilt as your gift

I say give the quilt I had this happen once and when I was at the shower I heard the mom to be say that she really was wanting a quilt from me Sometimes mom doesnt have any say about her shower it is the well meaning people around her. Needless to say she got a quilt when baby was born

I agree with giving the quilt--it was a gift made with her and her baby in mind. The wrapping idea is wonderful. If you think that it would offend others or cause a big negative deal to gift it at the shower--give it privately.

Give her the quilt. Either wrap the diapers in the quilt or give the quilt privately. We have had circumstances where a diaper shower or gift cards only was appropriate like single mom with little money, second child in 2 years (same gender), and mother was moving houses 2 days before her planned c-section. Both my kids ended up with extended stays in the NICU so I just got $$$ at the work shower to help out and it was a help.

I just helped with a diaper shower , ( first one ) called a diaper shower, wasn't sure why we were calling it that , but found out , it was because it is her 4th baby and she didn't need anything else.
Well my BFF( The Grandma to the little angel) she had found a bumper pad that was so cute and she got it at a second hand store, well there was not quilt to go with it , so made one to match it, and made a diaper cake ( becasue that is what she needed most !!! I thought it worked with the theme. She was very happy with the quilt and all the diapers.
