Is this too "funky"...
2 Attachment(s)
...for a baby quilt?
I like it but my husband says it is "kinda funky". I figure they aren't little babies forever. And, they can always turn it over. What do you think? Feel free to be honest. I can' always give them a more traditional pastel one.

There is nothing wrong with it. I like the colors and the design as well.
|
I believe babies like bright colors. I think it is very cheerful. Like it.
|
Not 'funky' at all... building blocks are perfect for babies. It's beautiful and so is your quilting.
|
Funky? Then I guess I really like funky!! It's great!
|
Cute quilt and not funky to me!
|
not at all... it's bright and cheerful
|
Not too funky, babies love bright colors.
|
I like it, good job !
|
I like the colors...it's unique! I like unique.
|
I think any baby would love it.
|
Tumbling blocks is probably one of the most quintessential patterns for baby quilts and I love your color choices. Sometimes when my DH isn't crazy about something I made (usually boils down to he doesn't like those colors) he makes statements like that.
|
I love it! :) The quilting is beautiful as well.
|
I think it is beautiful and any child would love it!
|
A terrific quilt for baby! Great colors too~
|
Not funky to me. Like the colors.
|
It looks to me like you have 100 percent approval. I am in the camp that says
Babies like color. When my husband and I married 31 years ago, his teenage son was still making his bed with a ragged, crib-sized Sunbonnet Sue quilt made by a step-grandmother whom he called Grammy. It was made with love for him and him only and he knew that. |
Well, I've never thought of "funky" as a bad thing!!! I like the colors and love that they're not the sky blue/pastel pink, etc. I think it's great!!
|
I love the colors--nice job!
|
Looks good!
|
Don't over think it. It is bright, cheerful and perfect for any baby. The colors are great together and work well with that pattern. It is a winner!
|
I think its adorable! I love the colors!
|
It doesn't strike me as "funky" at all. When I think "funky" I think wonky, strange, unusual, wild, in-your-face bright, and other adjectives. Blue and yellow together is a classic color combo. Tumbling blocks is a classic pattern. (And babies love to be able to perceive pattern.) Tossing the bright dots in there was a fun element, but certainly not "funky." Besides, you have put a lot of thought and love into this particular quilt for this little man, so I say give it to him!

Not Funky .... just plain Fun! :)
However, some parents are so into coordination now-a-days, that if it doesn't match their theme, colours, style, and so on, it seems they don't want it. Hope that your recipients are not of that type ... and are delighted with your gift. |
Dh's aren't the best judge. Mine has a tendency to look at one fabric in the quilt and go, I don't like that fabric. As if I could trade it out after quilting and binding. Anyway, it looks great. It's bright and cheery. Funky can be good.

LOVE IT. Didn't really mean to shout but I think it's super. Colors, pattern and quilting are great. BrendaK

I like it, and would give it for a baby quilt.
|
Love the colors and the blocks! Great baby quilt!
|
It looks great. I think it is fine for a baby quilt.
|
It is beautiful a baby will love it.
|
It's awesome, not funky at all. I don't know what his definition of funky is, but to me, your quilt is beautiful. No funky anywhere.
|
Love this! The print fabric reminds me of candy sprinkles you see on cupcakes! I like your quilting designs. Please show us when you are finished.
|
I agree with you. Babies are babies for just a short time and a toddler and preschooler for a whole lot longer. I seldom make baby quilts with "baby" fabric because the children grow, and grow and grow and often like to take that special old friend quilt along to the next stage of childhood.
|
The yellow adds just the right amount of "wow" color to the quilt to draw a baby's attention. The child will love it!
|
I like it. Fabric choices are so nicely coordinated around the print. I think it is just perfect for a baby quilt.
|
The baby won’t know the difference, and the parents will love it.
|
I think the colors are great for any age!
|
It’s modern and fresh !
|
This is a beautiful quilt for a baby.
