    Have fun making your baby things,... I can't seem to keep up.. made one in Jan for granddaughter, this one for nephews boy due April, and a nieces girl due in May.

    My only suggestion was to be about the white binding but I see you've already had a change of heart. I'm chomping at the bit to get started on a baby quilt for our new grandchild coming in September. Just waiting for the word on whether it's a girl or boy!

    How about using red for the binding.? A white binding on a baby quilt will really get the use and show dirt and stains pretty quick

    I love your blocks and color choices, but to my eye and IMHO, I think it's a bit 'color heavy' on the outside. Or perhaps it needs a bit more of that beautiful vibrant red toward the center. Again, this is just my most humble opinion and personal preference.

    Agree with this post. Nice quilt though!

No matter what your final layout is, I'm betting it will be a loved quilt.

    try arrange the small 4 patches so the white is in the center of each one, I think it may make the block pop instead of fade into the adjoining block. this is a cute top!

    This was what I would suggest also to bring some balance to the quilt. Otherwise great job.
