Just do what you like You will find baby will grow to love whatever is on the quilt. good luck

i going to say wait till she has make up her mind. Then i saw raelso11 reply. Yes, do something u like and u think the grandchild will like too :)

My daughter is having a baby soon,she is just happy to be a mum for the second time. Whatever you make i'm sure it will be done with nana love. Give her the baby quilt after the birth,she will be fine and love it.

camy, as the other's have said - do what you want - a quilt is a quilt - is a quilt - a theme for the room - can have something in it - that isn't like the theme - so don't worry - you are doing this for your first grandchild - do it with love and it will show - don't get frustrated - you have lots of work - before February to finish. Get going! Hehehe!

Go with the "monkey shines" alphabet idea. It sounds great, and it doesn't matter if it fits into the "theme" or not. After all, "most battle plans do not survive contact with the enemy" and by the time the baby is here for a few weeks, she will be realizing that. It will be cute, and will be appreciated (even if she never manages to come out and say so!)

Hmm, well I think you should do whatever you feel like doing for her, afterall it is your grandchild. I am sure whatever you decide will be loved. Unfortunatley, us women do like to change our mind often......lol

First of all it is your present for your grandchild and not fo the mother. Second you have some splendid ideas, just start making the quilt that YOU want for your GRANDCHILD. Good luck and don't become frustrated.

Do whatever you want for the quilt. The monkey shines sounds like a good idea. Besides by the time you are finished with the quilt and the baby arrives the new mother will be so happy to have it over with that she will love anything and any design! She will be happy with it!!

Bright and colourful is said to be the thing for babies today, takes their attention...Monkeyshines is cute and also colourful. Go with it, the baby will love it because his grams made it for him...

Ah, camylow, we all see it the same way. YOU are creating a quilt out of love, and it's your vision you need to follow. There are all those other "retail" people who will buy her flavor of the day. My two GS got frog quilts. Bright primary colors.DIL didn't want blue. You can do a search in the projects for Landon's Quilt. I think those monkeys will be gorgeous. Go with your heart.

make the one you want to since you'll have to look at the longest while making it. I hope she doesn't turn out like my girlfriends daughter in law, no matter what she does it's wrong. The mother is american indian the father pretends to have american indian blood so the grandmother uses my machine, thread, stablizer etch and puts this cute fairy with the baby's indian name on a shirt and poof the mommy never manages to put it on the child! I made her a baby quilt that has never been used as well so if she's buggin you do what you want and relax.

Everyone else is pulling the same voting lever as I am. It is a gift from your heart to your grandson. Make it with love for him, she is just FULL of hormonal fluxes and maybe her indecisiveness will pass, but if doesn't, it was for baby anyway.;)

Well, I have a new twist...don't do any quilt and when she asks...tell her you were waiting for her to make up her mind and then make it...OR go with the majority: make what YOU want! The quilt should be FUN to make, not frustrating. (please don't be offended by my first response - of course I know that you want to make one for your blessed grandson, it's just that I feel your pain.)..*4u

I have a quilt gift coming up soon and this one is very "pickie". But she does like pastels. So I am going to do a quilt and then put the babies name on it. Hey that way she can't give it away to just anyone. hehe So do the quilt the way you like that way you will enjoy making it and enjoy your grandchild.

Do What You want to do:) Baby Boy will love it..It will be from GRANDMA:) I went thru the same thing with my son's signifficant OTHER...she didn't want any pink for her lil girl...Now that's all GD wears..she's 2 and picks her own clothes out in the morning...don't matter to her as long as it has pink in it!

Sounds like you want be able to please her no matter want you do. *4u

Don't worry about it. Make what you think will be nice. She should appreciate it because you made it. I might even be nice to have something other than what goes with "the theme" upon occasion. I personally think the monkey shine fonts will be cute. I have had that in mind to do someday if I get them all.

Quilts are always useful specially when they come from grandma, just do a design that you love, that could be use for a boy and don't worry about anymore.***

I agree with several - do what you like. It is hard to please everyone, but maybe you can please yourself. Good luck with your decision.

I'd like to hope she'd appreciate anything you do....if not shame on her.

I would make what I would like for mu gramdchild rather than what the scatter -brain things she wants. You will enjoy making the quilt more, and besides it is for the grandson.

I'm with the others. Use the monkeys. If you want you can always make another quilt after the baby is born and use the room colors and/or theme. I'm sure she will be thrilled with anything you make.

PLEASE don't misunderstand me. It really isn't that she is ungrateful, I think she is frightened and worried and doesn't have a clue what she is in for. But GRANDPA is going to be sure he has him most of the time and I will probably do a nursery in our room also, sooo waaalllaaa

I hope for your sake that your sons girlfriend grows up sooooon. At this stage I would do a quilt that u want to do & later do one for a theme bedroom. My thinking is that the alphabet would suit his first bed. or u could do alphabet on one side & cars on the other so when grandad is whith him the cars will be on top, & car noises he will soon learn.
I strongly believe that bright colours make a hiperactive child, Pastal colours make a placid child. Cheak this out for yourself, sit inside a tent like room with all bright colours and keep looking at them all then repeat with pastal colours. Music is the same soft & calming is better

My Answer would be to do a mixed design quilt with animals n toys and redwork little boys, you could make it hang longer down the sides of the bed and do a border of different animals, but make the main centre theme, toys n cars, etc.
I've never made a quilt but I so want to make one for each of my grandchildren, but I am having trouble deciding what to put on them as there are so many fantastic designs.
So i have decided to do what i just suggested to you. WHEN i get over my surgery that is. hugs n roses, M

You can't please everyone, all the time. Or so they say. I would make something form your heart - it is YOUR gift to the baby, not hers. So long as you are happy with it, that is all that matters in my books.
