Congrats! I will be an great aunt in July to a little boy so I made a cotton baby quilt and a larger flannel quilt for the winter...I didn't know it was going to be a boy, so both quilts are brown and green...I just made sure everything would wash nicely and that everything was stitched securely...no buttons or threads to get caught on anything...and I did machine stitch on the bindings using zig zag...

You are going to have so much fun! Can't wait to see what you make!
