If you leave it as it is, the child can use it longer.

I like the length! And like someone said, the baby will grow.

I wouldn't shorten it. I think it's really cute & they'll love the length as they get older.

As fast as babies grow, I would leave it alone. Just think how much more use it will get as the years go by!

I think the length looks just fine. I made a baby quilt several years ago that ended up a lot bigger than I thought it would, but I gave it anyway. I never heard a complaint! :-D :thumbup:
