But my daughter wanted it because her crib set was a butterfly motif, so I just made her what she wanted. What's everyone's opinion? Good for an infant or not? I'm curious what people think!

I made a Gentlemans Bowtie out of Red and Black It was dark for a baby,but boy it sure was pretty all the baby shower people love it.

My GD is named Grace Elizabeth also, I made her a quilt when she was a baby, backed it with the Gracie fabric, she in 10 now and still loves it. I think she thinks the fabric co named it just for her. lol

ButtermilkMama 04-27-2011 07:29 AM

She won't be a baby for long so it will be great for later

also!!!

Aunt Bea 04-27-2011 08:00 AM

That is beautiful. I would hang it on the wall next to her crib so she can enjoy the colors until she is older.

babyboomerquilter 04-27-2011 08:03 AM

Very nice! I love things that are personalized, it makes them even more special.

It's thought that babies go for the bolder colors and your gorgeous quilt certainly fits that recommendation. But you should also realize that this is a unique quilt and one that is sure to get lots of compliments - so needless to say when your new precious granddaughter arrives she will certainly get lots of attention and so will your lovely quilt. Beautiful quilt.

Very pretty quilt. If your Gracie is like my Gracie she will love it as she gets older. I now call Gracie GG as she is always galloping around (galloping Gracie) she keeps telling me her name is Gracie.

Stitcherbee09 04-27-2011 08:16 AM

Love the quilt and love the name Gracie!!!

blossom808 04-27-2011 08:21 AM

I think its perfect for a baby girl. I love it. All those colors the baby's going to love it. Love how you did her name. Great idea.

Tammylovespink 04-27-2011 08:35 AM

I think it is perfect for an infant and will grow with her. She will be so attracted to the bright colors. Congratulations, Grandma. Beautiful work!

macygma 04-27-2011 09:24 AM

I love it - Miss Gracie is a lucky baby

jdiane318 04-27-2011 09:28 AM

Beautiful quilt and Grace will love it.

littleone 04-27-2011 09:29 AM

Beautiful!!!!!!! Who says it has to be traditional baby motifs? The bright colors make those butterflies pop out.

Ziva 04-27-2011 09:34 AM
