So many great suggestion. Has the mother chosen a color theme?? There have been some cute animal baby quilts posted here. Do a Google search of baby quilts and check out the photos. That is where I get some inspiration from.

Congratulations on being a GG! We threatened my DIL that if she didn't tell us (her Mother and I), we would storm her house and find the envelope that has the info. of what she's having. My DIL said she didn't doubt us for a second. She had a fun reveal party...we had a blast and are expecting a baby girl in August. Perhaps you can entice your GD into having a reveal party since most women are always up for a party! A party might be more attractive to her than being secretive.

I can't fathom why some choose "gender neutral" for a nursery BUT that opinion IS coming from "old school" and had no other choice kind of person.

Here's what I made when faced with a gender neutral baby quilt a while back. I didn't use a pattern, I just cut as I went, adding wherever I liked and quilted whatever I felt like ...out of "gender neutral" constraint frustration.

That pinwheel one is just adorable.

sorry, my computer just wouldn't type worth beans last nite. for the pinwheels, I think I started with a 6.5 inch square, and sewed all around it, then made the pinwheels from it. they end up being quite big. like 45 x 60. grandkids are the envy of pre school at nap time....

Quilting Haven, this is one of the cutest baby quilts I've seen. I especially like how you used primary colors and the alphabet pieces with animals. Definitely something a baby will grow into and learn from. Just love this! I'm going to look for this panel. Thank you for sharing.

Take a look at that peek-a-boo baby quilt, saw it on here the other day in pic section. Think it was posted a few years back, and someone commented on it and brought it back up. Anyway, you put squares of interesting fabrics like with animals etc on it, then put little flaps like prairie points that the baby can open to see! Really cute and would be great for a girl or a boy, just bright and contrast like black and white.

This is my current favorite baby quilt and can be done in a more gender nutural colors.

Can you find out how they are decorating the nursery? I would go with whatever their plan is, I'm sure they have one. My daughter and her husband did not want to know the gender of their three kids and picked such a cute nursery theme. They used it for the first two, a boy and then a girl. Dad even painted a mural on the wall. It was Carter's John Lennon line called Imagine. So cute. I wasn't quilting at the time, so didn't add to the theme that way. For the third one, a little girl, they were in a new house and didn't really worry about a theme. I did make a quilt for her but waited until I knew who she was Since then I also made a quilt for her big girl bed. Such fun.
