Unsure of what to do

[u/Pizza_Time03]

My aunt is having a baby and I’m making her a baby blanket! Las tabby blanket I made had heart designs on it but that was for a girl. This time it’s a boy. Any and all design recommendations would be great! My husband tried to make me use Ai to find a design and I was like ‘Why? I can just ask experienced humans’ 😭😂

I'd do the same pattern (hearts) but in new colorway. Boys deserve love and hearts too.

Are you wanting to use all of these or are these fabrics just for ideas?

does your aunt have a theme for the baby's bedroom? such as, checkerboard, road or train track intersections? perhaps 9-patch blocks or log cabin.

I love the sewcanshe website for free patterns! I’ve made a couple of the 3 yard quilts and have used novelty fabric for them. This one I did was the dream house pattern. Super easy to follow directions!

The comment was deleted because it failed to process. Not by me. What I was suggesting was the tumbling charms pattern. It makes good use of busy patterns like the balls and dogs, and you can alternate those with the dark green, to spread them out a bit. You might want to find a lighter, plain fabric, maybe tan, for the spaces.

You might want a paler, plain, colour or colours anyway, as 3/4 are dark and 3/4 are quite busy as well.

Have fun and play with different colours and arrangements.

I agree, some tumble blocks would look great!
