Here's an idea: http://www.favequilts.com/Quilts-For...Quilt-for-Baby
It's quick, rather striking, but so personal! (You could use repro fabrics, modern fabrics or whatever colors the parents want.) In addition to the name, or in place of it, applique on a silhouette of a rocking horse. (Google "rocking horse silhouette.") I don't know why I find the rocking horse idea so appealing, but you could easily add, instead, a ball, a train engine or a few blocks, whatever strikes your fancy... THe silhouette doesn't have to be huge and it could be put in center or at angle off center...just play with a paper cut-out first.

Love the Jane fabric. It would lend itself well to a Warm Wishes or anything like that. I used a piece of Dick and Jane to do a child's quilt for a special charity. Most of the pictures show the children with some type of toy. Good luck in whatever you choose to do.

I promise not to buy any more fabric until I see something I really like. Or it's on sale. Or I think it might match something.
And besides, a woman has a right to change her mind anytime. That is why women have the cleanest minds in the world.
