    If I were in a store shopping for a baby quilt, I'd choose the one you made for a boy. It doesn't look suitable for a girl to me.

    Congratulations on your new great grandson!

    Wishing the best for your family. I understand your question. Of course your focus is on the baby's health status, but you are thinking of the future when the baby is home. Your quilt was made with love and it will be loved. Some daddy's have specific "feelings" about colors, etc., for their boys, more so than for their girls. I agree with the others to let this male baby have this quilt from his great grandmother and then make another for later. With your expressions, I think you would feel better to go ahead and plan the new "toddler" quilt. I join others in sending prayers for your family.

    My heart goes out to your family. We have premies in ours and the outlook is good especially when they are over 2 pounds.

    My 17 year old son loves the colour purple. Do not worry about the colour of the quilt, it was made with love for this baby.

    I will say a prayer for him, and we have found out when distributing quilts to kids, that boys love purple, so that blanket if perfect.

    Prayers and hugs to everyone in this difficult time. I would give it to your new great grandson. I have a few boys and they like purple and the green really makes it a boy or girl. I bought one grandson a purple shirt and it is his favorite

    Congrats on the new great grandson! Hope his mom is doing well too.... Looks like he will be a tall fella, with those long hands and feet!

    The subject matter of the quilt is certainly unisex (dots and frogs) and it's a cute little quilt, but I would hesitate to give all that purple to a little boy. If it were me I would make another quilt and save this one for a girl. Maybe I'm just old fashioned but I like to use primary colors for boys (red, yellow, blue...).

    At first glance the quilt is definitely girly. I'd make another one that is more boyish. Or maybe you could applique more boy frogs, no that would take more time that making a new one.

    God bless your new little boy, his mom and the rest of the family, prayers to all. I think the quilt is adorable and very fitting for the little guy.
