Not your usual "Baby" quilt, but it sure looks good to me :thumbup: :thumbup:

It isn't hideous. I have seen hideous and this isn't it! You did a wonderful job on this quilt.

I personally like your quilt. Any mom or child should love it.

OK everyone don't beat me up - but I've got to agree. It is way too masculine for a baby. Donate it to a homeless shelter; they would appreciate it - no matter what the fabric looked like.

I say give it. The child will be able to use it much longer and it won't be a "baby" quilt. It won't show wear easily or dirt, either. A good choice.

Boy I should have read everyones post before i posted. I'm not saying the quilt is ugly - I'm just agreeing with the quilters thoughts. Please don't be offended.

Hubby has been encouraging me to give it anyway, as it's a nice usable cozy quilt, but is it too darned ugly to give away?

Are you kidding, absolutely not ugly. Give with your love.
