I agree with parents input on pattern .Grandma will be putting a lot of work into this quilt and she wants them to wrap grandmas love around him especially since they live so far away.

what about a bargello pattern?

What about a simple large scale zig zag? It would look great with the fabric you describe and wouldn't involve a lot of time piecing. Add some solid fabric in their chosen colors and you have a modern looking quilt.

Sounds like my grand-daughter who would not use anything that even seemed a bit traditional. Her burp cloths were camo and a racing car material. The quilt I made for the baby turned out to be a from a material with a racing car pattern and some fireman motif(homage to grandpa), but almost all NASCAR stuff. Not a suggestion, but an example of what new, non-traditional parents are using. The traditional gifts to the baby went bye-bye. I would definitely get the parent's approval before I spent the time and money or it may end up at Goodwill.

If she's really concerned that her DIL will not use a quilt becasue it doesn't suit the decor, I'd opt for the Baby's R Us registration they probably have and be done with it. Or come right out and ask if they would like her to make the baby a quilt. Then involve them in the design and colors.

Amen. that's what she's trying to do. She's asked them if they even WANT a quilt from her and they said yes...so she just has to nail them down on a pattern.

How about asking them to choose the pattern they would like you to use??????

Please remember that infants and babies can choke on things like fringe, loops, buttons, bows, prairie points, tabs, beads, jiggle eyes and most other adornments on a quilt and remember Safety First!
