Yes, I think this is what I will do... Lisa above also suggested this and it is what I have been tossing around..

You are right... didn't think about how dirty it could get... I'll have to find some more red or yellow as you have suggested.. The back will be a med green flannel..
Have fun making your baby things,... I can't seem to keep up.. made one in Jan for granddaughter, this one for nephews boy due April, and a nieces girl due in May.

I really like it! The only thing I might change are the 4 patch blocks (the ones with the 2 large squares and 4 patches) so that all the small bright squares go to the center.

I like your color combo, but I wouldn't use a lot of white. You know how babies leak. I would also change the block above the center to a red one to balance the center out, and the 2nd block from the right in the second row is somehow not turned correctly. It's going to be a cute quilt when done - don't forget to post it again.

If you are expecting this to get used, you might reconsider white binding. Try auditioning a narrow red (1") to stop the quilt from running into the border. Then a blue border and bind with blue.

Very cute quilt for a little!
peace
