I really like it. If you are concerned that it isn't right, you could whip up a crib sheet from the lt blue infant fabric to coordinate the baby-look. There are crib sheet patterns on the web and probably here at the board. I would love it if it were for me!

I like it because it looks like a boy's quilt. Remember he will not be a baby forever. Also when I have made a quilt for a baby, I always tell the mother to use it on the floor so the baby can look around, don't handle it with care.

It looks like there is a lot of agreement with having a quilt a baby boy can grow up with though. I know the little man (DGS) would love one - in fact I'm starting one made out of shirts. I think I'm going to include the pockets and all. I'll bet if i gave him the choice between something cute & baby he would choose the more manly quilt even though he is only 2. The new baby boy (due in December) is going to be getting a smaller one just like it. THANK YOU for the inspiration!!!

At my age, I still want to use pink and blue, bunnies, etc. but I know that very few young mothers share my taste.
I think it's incredibly cute, and yes.. please give it! It's probably just not your taste - but you nailed it as bohemian/modern!

Thank you everyone for your VERY KIND comments! :-D
