I never had a baby shower with my daughter - and I would have loved to have had one. For me, a quilt would have been absolutely perfect.
I'm hoping that if I ever do have another one that I'll get a shower this time!
And I'm 28 - never heard of a diaper shower.

what is the issue? Give the quilt to the intended mother-to-be as a birth present. Why does it have to be a shower present? It seems like you have sent up prescident of qiving quilts for baby and therefore do not want to have hurt feelings if other mom-to- be has 1st baby and does not not one. As for "diaper" shower- what a great idea!!!!! Have you checked the price of diapers lately?

So, guess I'm saying ... give the quilt. :thumbup:

LOL at Elaine - no, they're made from a cup towel - the cloth diapers she tried to use were not a good quality and she found the softest, most wonderful cup towels.
Here's the quilt top - my friend has it now to put on the binding, so I can't get a more finished pic yet.

You can sort of see the burp pad we gave the last one here. The bib was awesome - quite large made from a large washcloth, but I don't have a picture of it. We'll do better about that next time. For a pattern she used a bib she loved when her now 21-year-old daughter was born. After that shower she ended up making several more for people who just had to have one and created a pattern for some others who wanted to make one. It was different in that it covered the shoulders and the top of the arm.

This quilt was made with love and for a particular baby so I'd give it. If you're afraid of making others think you're showing off then give it to her another time privately. I'm like you that when I make something there's a certain person in mind.
