My nephew and his wife are expecting in April (after a successful invitro) and I had plans for a baby quilt with active outdoor themes (they live and play in BC) but they just informed all of us they are moving (job-related) to Oman for 3 years. They certainly don't need a quilt where the average temp is 40+C. I know they will live in air conditioned quarters but I no longer think a quilt is appropriate. I'm thinking of waiting till they return and their daughter will be almost 3?

up to you of course, but I think babies always need quilts.

I think she would enjoy a quilt on the floor for playtime too.

Just remember that air conditioning can feel very cold to a baby--especially during tummy time. Make the quilt and make it the way YOU want. If nothing else, it will be a lovely reminder of the country they love.

Babies need lots of tummy time! I always recommend that my baby quilts be used for that and not saved.

They will love a quilt. It will be something very special "from home" to have with them. Think of all the memories and photos they will have of the baby and the quilt. You must be a loving aunt.

I would also vote for the original quilt pattern to remind the whole family of BC. I can't even imagine the change of environments they are going to experience.

when i lived in south florida, i used my bed quilt every night and i used a couch quilt, too. i think you should still make the baby quilt... it says LOVE

Definitely continue with your original plans. It will remind them of home and still be cuddly for baby.

Go for it Auntie!!!!!!
