Baby Quilt?

Question

I am making my soon to be half brother a quilt for his mother's babyshower. I have just over 20 days.

I don't know what I want the theme to be!!

I'm obsessed with hockey, so I was thinking a cute hockey fabric with a solid back, but now I am thinking maybe more of a babyish theme...

any ideas?!

Answer 1

I would suggest before you make the quilt - wash /dry and iron the fabrics to make sure they are colour fast. If you use a  simple solid coloured pattern of square blocks- say beige/ orange/taupe colour scheme then this will endure for a few years - It would be good to make sure that it is 100% cotton, top and bottom,as well as the quilt batting so that if the baby has any skin allergies, cotton will be OK.

Have fun!

Answer 2

Think of him dragging this much loved quilt around for years. Choose something that won't look too babyish when he is cuddling with it as a four year old.

You could choose fabrics to represent different sports or go ahead and do just hockey so you can start influencing him to be a hockey star.

Answer 3

I think cute sports or car theme with cartoonish pattern will be best for infant boys.
