The daughter of a friend of mine is expecting her first baby - a boy. She is decorating the nursery in shades of Aqua and Navy. I am looking for ideas for a baby quilt - nothing too difficult, but something boyish. Any ideas? Thanks!

Aqua and navy says water to me. There are some really sweet pieced sailboat patterns around--or even one big sailboat on an ocean of prairie points and maybe some pieced or appliqued fishies under the water.

Lots of inspiration in the baby quilts album here on the forum.http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...bums16930.html

Warm Wishes is the pattern I used for my charity quilts. Pick a cute focus fabric and the quilt goes together quickly. Here is the EQ design for my next one. So neat because you can do many things to customize the quilt.

And I agree those colors scream water to me too the fish, sailboats anchors, jelly fish, octopus not nautical but sea life would be really cute. B

Thanks for the compliments on my quilt. The neat thing about this pattern is that you can make it any theme by just changing the 3 focal blocks. Instead of fishes you could put in seahorses or any "sea" related object. Or you could change it to a western theme & put in horses or cowboys....racing theme you could use cars....or butterflies, dragons, dogs, cats, etc, etc, etc. The theme is as far as your imagination can take you.
