    Sob! :cry:

    I spent two days making this baby quilt for a shower gift for a baby boy, and it turned out HIDEOUS. The bohemian modern look I was going for was an EPIC FAIL. Something about the mix of baby prints with the dark masculine prints just Did. Not. Work.

    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 with you. I do not think it is ugly, in fact I like it. However, it is unusual, and you may not wish to give it as planned, if you have real concern that the Mom or others at the shower will not react well. Only you can decide!!

    I think you are being too critical of the outcome. It is unique and cute.

    There is nothing that says a baby quilt has to be pale pink or blue...I would rather make something a five year old will still like and not be a baby!

    Truly unique. If you decide not to give it as a shower gift, you could always donate to Project Linus. Just a thought.
