Very nice. You can always hold onto it for a future baby boy and make another for the girl.

I would either save it for a boy or applique pink flowers on it.

Applique a pink elephant on it, it'll be perfect!
A century or so ago, red was for boys as it was a strong 'manly' color. There was no stigma against pink as it was simply a less intense red. Blue was for girls as it was a nice pastel color. So what the heck happened???!

You haven't seen the depth of my UFO pile. If I start on a new baby quilt now, I'll probably finish it sometime around the kid's first birthday.

Besides' I'm scrambling to get a quilt I hoped to deliver to my sister at her wedding ready in time for her first anniversary now.

that's really cute, who cares if it's blue!? the suggestion to applique pink flowers is a smart idea!

Is this a variation on a rail fence? I really really like it and as Lynnie commented, it does not look too difficult when you look closely. I'd like to make this!!
