If they're bright and bold, maybe, but not old calicos or pastels, as those are "out." Most modern moms want things that go with their nursery theme or colors. Since these are for donation, you can't be room-specific, but it's safer to go with animals, dots, Disney themes, construction, sports, etc. I would look on Etsy if you want inspiration for modern baby quilt fabrics.

I have seen bright colors in baby quilts, but I think where you donate them might have some rules to follow. So it would depend upon what is accepted by them. Children are less fussy, and love color, animals, and I Spy quilts. I admire all those quilters who donate their work to a worthy charity; especially if its for children and seniors.

I made a lap quilt once in pastel florals, and it was beautiful! I also made a baby quilt for my niece in pastels, which was very, very pretty, and it included some florals. I don't have pics---it was several years ago and both were given away.
