can i ask you all a quick question?
i was wondering if you think these fabrics are okay for a baby quilt:




these are all the fabrics i have on hand and i am SO itching to make a baby quilt
because i am stuck in the attic because it has the only working air conditioner.
the only options i have up in the attic is to be on the computer or cut fabric
and i decided a baby quilt would be fun.

the quilt would be 5x5" squares with a 3" border in the light green/blue color on the vine fabric.

what do you think?
i would prefer not to make a traditional pink/blue quilt
and i was wondering if these colors would be likeable for a baby.
in my opinion, i would certainly buy these colors for my baby
because they are some of my FAVORITE!

thank you everyone. :)
i just want to make sure i am not crazy !

These colors would look adorable. :3 Maybe the border could be an aqua color matching the aqua in that viney fabric? I think that would look great.

thank you! that is exactly what i was thinking for the border. i edited the post because i realized i should have specified which color for the border.

i really appreciate your help :)

i love these colors together. i think brown is a "cozy" color for a baby--and yellow too! i think they'll make a super cute and original baby quilt! :)

i think they would be wonderful! especially the one on the left. babies love high contrast colors, too. i would have been delighted to have recieved a baby blanket like this for my three kiddies :]

hey, this argyle girl thinks it'd be a great quilt as well. those colors are nice and look well together. i'd much rather have that for my baby than pink/ blue any day.

i love the colors so i think those fabrics will turn into a nice baby quilt :)
i also think that is great that you don't want to go to the traditional blue/pink.

aw, thank you!
i was never really fond of traditional pink/blue
for babies/children... proabably because i have taken
so many gender issues classes :)

me too!
i also took some classes about gender issues and i loved it. even though i was already aware of many things about this subject (actually since i was a child i was interested in this stuff, of course my interest was the interest of a child about many issues, nothing to deep) i learned a lot and got to read some great books and watch some documentaries and movies about the subject that i loved to.
have you watched "orlando" with tilda swinton? i think it is so beautiful.
