Present it as play pad. My granddaughters loved getting something that wasn't meant to be pampered. The baby will like the colors and squares to roll around on. I do like it.

Ok so it's different, that's what quilting is about making things that are unique. I feel it has a very homespun/country feel to it and I disagree with it being ugly, I like it a lot. If you feel the mom to be isn't into the comfy, homey type of stuff then maybe hold this back for a mom that is. But the one you made is worth giving and is a great baby quilt. Only you can decide.

I've looked at the pictures and can't find the ugly part or hideous part!!! Would you mind pointing them out to me so I can see them, too???

Personally, I like it.

But if you can't bring yourself to give it to the person that it was intended for, you might consider donating it to Quilts for Kids.

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?

I disagree, I love it, it looks so cozy and warm. Definitely one he can use long after toddlerhood. A coordinating pillowcase or burp cloths or a bib would make a nice set, tie it with a little jute string with a craft paper tag. My vote is to GIVE IT :thumbup:
