I am presently making one that is coral, yellow, and green. Most of all, just have fun! I've included a picture of a quilt titled "Posies 'Round the Cabin" found in "Creative Log Cabin Quilting", copywrite 2004.

I agree with the suggestions about using theme fabric from popular children's books that do not lean toward exclusively boy or girl. You can find prints that have leaves or swirls or geometrics or cute animals, and have as your main colors either one or more primaries or green, and nobody will say "What a cute little boy!" when it's a girl, or vice-verse. Pieced houses are a cute theme for any little one. I have been making baby quilts lately and find I gravitate toward quilts that have a lot of white or cream, which creates plenty of contrast, even if you like light colors. For example, check out this one: http://www.modabakeshop.com/2011/05/...ays-quilt.html Also, warm wishes quilt with a theme fabric and three repeated colors in the strip block looks great in all sorts of color combinations.

I'm doing a rendition of the dot to dot pattern and I hope it turns out okay - if not - then I will have a lap size quilt for someone.
