Oh children are still supposed to be in coats, but with the need to have little ones snugly strapped into protective car seats, parents have eliminated coats/jackets until the baby is older and can be in a larger car seat. All about safety, so tossing a warm blanket over the child while in the car or going from car to building is the norm now. Changing times.
The pattern is called playing tag from allpeoplequilt.com . You can use charms to speed up the process.

I purchase a layer cake or charm packs in character fabrics. and simply sew the squares together. There are several with animals, alphabets or bright colors. Seems lately if I ask what colors the nursery is, I hear gray and yellow. Nope. I make the quilt large enough to use on the floor for when the baby wants to practice pushing up and rolling over. It's great to have a clean spot for that.

I know I’m a broken record, but this has become my go-to pattern for baby quilts. It looks great, goes together fast, and is a perfect size for a baby. As far as colors, red, white, and blue is always good, especially for boys. You could go monochromatic with blue or green, or you could pick a cute backing fabric and pull a couple of colors from it to make your top.
