I think the length looks okay. Do what you think is best and remember they do grow up.

I would not shorten it. Those babies don't stay babies very long you know! It will be perfect as he grows and he really will get much more use from it!
It is a very cute quilt!

I always make big quilts so that the child can have it on their big child bed and will be alright until they are in their teens.

It does look kind of long, but i would leave it just the way it is. I like the material that you used, they will love the quilt and so will the little boy when he gets older and having it longer will mean that he will be able to use it longer.

I agree...they do grow..it may be the little ones favorite and it can be used for years

I love it the way it is, babies grow fast, and they love to wrap themselves up in a quilt made with love.
GOD bless.
