I've made a lot of baby quilts and never used baby prints in any of them. I like the second picture better but if you feel it's to dark just add a bright color as a sashing. Looking at the blocks I could see a bright or light green, yellow, orange even a bright blue would work.

I like the second grouping better

I think it will make a darling baby quilt. I do like the second picture. Maybe think about doing applique of a teddy bear on the quilt. Good luck

I like the 2nd best.

I like the second one best too.to add a little baby into the mix.u could snowball the corners with a pastel color..or off white..natural..it would soften the darker colors..or u could sash them with a solid color..it is a cool quilt anyway u go..and even adding the solid sashing or snowballing..it will be useable as baby grows

Google "string quilts" ...... you will find scads of ideas....like this better than "baby" prints because she can use it forever! Let us see your finished work!

Definitely the second one

I like the 2nd layout also. As for the corners, maybe you could use 2 colors so it looks like an hourglass.

My daughter just finished a "baby" quilt which she donated to our Guild's charity program. It was black & white prints, several tone-on-tone grays and lime green prints. Not baby-ish in any way, but some new mom is going to love it.

I, too, like the second layout. I wouldn't worry about the corners matching. It will be stunning, and your grand will love it.

My daughter just made a new quilt for her daughter, and when she got it, she looked at her mom and said, "I love it, but I'm still sleeping with BoBo." That's the quilt I made for her when she was 2 weeks old. She is now 6 and can't go to sleep without it.

I prefer the second for a baby, also. It is a nice pattern and a little lighter in color. I am sure the receiver will like whatever you do.
