I think it's great Gale. Babies are supposed to visually respond better to red,black and white.

Babies love contrast. I really love your farm fabric. Really cute!

I like the red it really makes the little barns "pop". As for the black you've tied that in just the same, and you're not using to much, I honestly think it looks great.

Love it! New babies only see black, white and red so I think you're fine with them. http://www.babycenter.com/0_developm...-sight_6508.bc

Looks GREAT ! It all works because of the barn and I also have heard that babies respond better to the blacks and reds. GO FOR IT ! Can't wait to see the finished quilt
