Same here. Unless I know what the mom wants and feel like making one to "go" with the nursery.

I am making one right now for my neighbor who is expecting in December. They do not want to know the sex of the baby. My quilt gift for them is all crayon colors. Suitable for a boy or a girl. I seldom make bland color quilts.

Babyish just not my style
I don't do cutsie or babyish very well, so I make quilts that they will grow into, not outgrow
This one for Emily is something she will be able to use for many years, I love all the wonderful colors in the batiks and the texture of the raw-edge applique

And since Julian's mom is from Japan, I just had to go with Obento (Bento Box to you Gaijins) - Junko's family loved the quilt when they saw it on their visit last year

I even went online and found out how to write Julian in katakana, a phonetic-type Japanese writing and put it on the label -

Both Emily and Julian will be using these quilts for some time, I hope they wear them out, because I don't want my quilts used for a few months and then put away as 'too babyish'. I'm glad there are people out there who make the baby quilts because there are people who want them, but it's not my style - I never even used baby talk with my kids when they were little ... like I said, not my style.
