Hubby has been encouraging me to give it anyway, as it's a nice usable cozy quilt, but is it too darned ugly to give away?

It's handmade, it's warm, it looks very cozy......I'll take it off your hands, if you like!

I agree, it looks nice and cozy. This quilt is going to get a lot of play time. Good job! :P

What a great little baby boy quilt. Don't be so critical of your work. You did a great job and I LOVE THE FABRICS you used.

I bet that little boy will drag that quilt around and love it forever! Go for it!

I like the quilt. It can be used as he grows. I would give as a gift.

I like it! It could span any time period.

I don't think it's ugly. I think that is one lucky baby!

:thumbup: Kudos to this approach :thumbup:
