I like it - the fabric you chose is masculine, yes, but also has a traditional feel to it. I am a big fan of unconventional baby stuff though. Only you can make the call as to whether or not you think the mom in question will appreciate it. I like the post that suggested you donate it to Project Linus should you choose not to give it to the mom. Of course, you could give the mom the choice and tell her you were not sure if she would like it but that if she does, she can have it. I did that once, with a quilt I made for a friend. It did not turn out the way I liked at ALL but when I gave my friend the choice, she happily accepted it.
