Far from funky...well done.

Very cheerful and colorful, it’s great.

DonnaC 08-03-2018 05:38 AM

I love it! So bright and cheerful. :)

Perfect!! I am sure the little one will love to snuggle in this. Funky....nope....just cuddly.

Thanks, everyone. I finished the quilting today and I have decided that I am going to gift it to the parents. They are a younger couple and I think they will like it.
Thank you for all your kind words.
By the way...this quilt was super easy and fast to do...I wanted to try out the tube strip piecing method that I found on YouTube that uses 2 2 1/2" strips sewn together and 1 4 1/2" strip. You sew them into a tube and then and cut them on a diagonal. It's really easy and fast. If you adjust the colours right it looks like Tumbling Blocks.

I love it and think baby will too. My DH only likes traditional blocks in traditional colors. I just don't pay attention unless it is for him.

Totally cute and FUN!
Love it.
Good job. =)

I think it's perfect for a baby quilt, very cheerful and colorful

Looks good enough to me!

Kids like funky and bright colors. I think it's a good choice for a baby.

My kind of quilt...it’s colorful and fun. Perfect for a baby quilt.

Judith1005 08-03-2018 11:32 AM

Not too funky at all. I LOVE it. I like your thinking....It will also grow with a child. They are babies for sooo short a period of time. Great colors!

starshine 08-03-2018 01:36 PM

I don't think so either. I would love to get this for a new born. :)

madamekelly 08-03-2018 04:35 PM

We at my house (four of us), think it is just fine for a baby. Perfect for the little ones that mama does not want to know the sex before birth. I love your color choices.

Clarice29 08-03-2018 05:06 PM

Looks great to me. Nice colors.

SusieQOH 08-03-2018 05:33 PM

Yes, it is funky. And I love funk!

audsgirl 08-03-2018 06:40 PM

I think it's wonderful. It's cheerful and interesting for a baby to look at. And as you say, it will grow with the child. It won't be baby-ish when the child ages a few years. I like that it is reversible, too. Good job!

I love the colors, and very appropriate for a baby.

Aurora 08-03-2018 11:51 PM

It is perfect for a baby. It has a calming feel about it.

rryder 08-04-2018 04:44 AM

Nope, not funky at all. I like the bright colors and the building blocks pattern-perfect for a baby!

Jordan 08-04-2018 07:32 AM

What does your husband mean by the quilt being funky? I think it is lovely and your fabrics are great for a baby quilt.

Iraxy 08-04-2018 10:03 AM

I have never understood why people think babies like pastels. Babies love color and contrast. Black/white/red/greens/yellows. Loud colors and contrasting prints are the way to go with baby quilts. Now if you are making this for the parent, they are usually under the impression that pastels look cuter in the baby room and are babier colors. So,you choose. Your quilt is beautiful.

RuthiesRetreat3 08-04-2018 12:22 PM

NOT funky. Great colors, the contrast will catch the eye of the baby. Great job. And remember, your husband may get a huge kick out of spark plugs, engine oil, and dirty football players. Don't trust his taste with your quilts.

QuiltingHaven 08-04-2018 12:58 PM

That is wonderful!!! Will last for a long time and will grow with the child......keep it up.

sewnclog 08-04-2018 01:24 PM

I like it too. Like the layout too.

jokir44 08-04-2018 03:49 PM

Do not listen to your husband. It is a wonderful baby quilt. ( That sentence can be used for more than just quilting.):thumbup:

stillvnu 08-04-2018 04:16 PM

It's a great quilt! Don't stress about it … I am sure the baby and mother will be thrilled to have a handmade quilt!

JanieH 08-04-2018 06:15 PM

I love it! Great pattern and colors.

joyce888 08-05-2018 05:31 PM

Sorry I like the back the best.
