I had a freebie small jelly roll from an online store, and i used a nice pink from my stash for the cornerstones, and a quick trip to walmart found a very dark grey for sashing, and a border with two shades of gray - there was also a smattering of gray in the jelly roll.
The pink certainly softens the quilt !
I have added a picture of my 3rd granddaughter gemma elizabeth

Gemma is a little doll! She kind of steals the show here, but the quilt is very attractive. It would not have occurred to me to use gray in a baby quilt, and it certainly adds a note of sophistication to a traditional pattern, doesn't it!
