I made this baby quilt from a book panel. There are a lot of panels there that would work for a baby quilt with various settings (alternate with 9 patch, etc.). You could pick one for boy or girl when you find out, or gender neutral theme like animals or alphabet but select complimentary girl or boy fabrics to go with it. This turns out cute but doesn't take much time. Fabric.com has a lot of panels to choose from. I will say, from experience, I never wash panels before I use them, because they frequently are off kilter after being washed and dried, and then are hard to put into a setting like this.
