Finding the perfect baby quilt is the perfect way to finish off your nursery. A perfect baby quilt plays an important role in a nursery, since everyone´s eyes are drawn to the crib as they enter the room. And your baby quilt will be one of the most photographed items during the toddler´s years. Choosing too ordinary of a baby quilt and your baby pics may lack a little depth and character. Choosing a tie dyed baby quilt with polka dot animals on them will look a little distracting. Perhaps this is why many people choose a lightly colored quilt with a little ornamentation or personalization. And of course your quilt needs to match the baby bedding, crib sheets, and the rest of the nursery.
But baby quilts are not just for the nursery. They are just as home on the floor of playpen or dragged around during playtime. And they will become endearing to you and your children as they are enjoyed cuddle time and naptime. Baby quilts make a unique gifts for girl or boy babies.
Since your baby will be spending over 60% of its first year sleeping, you should put much importance on finding the perfect quilt fabric. Baby quilts made with polyester or acrylic, which are plastics, can irritate your baby´s sensitive skin and eyes! YeahBaby.com advises finding baby quilts made with all natural fibers. Using 100% cotton or other natural fibers will help your little one spend countless nights fast asleep.
Many families often have an heirloom baby quilt passed down from generation to generation. This is a perfect way to celebrate the new pride of your family - by watching them drift off to sleep in your own childhood blanket! Give your parents a call to see if they saved your baby blanket.
Many expectant parents have a relative who gladly volunteers to make a baby quilts or blankets. We think this is a great idea. But we have heard too many stories about the baby quilt not matching the rest of the nursery. One couple was given a leopard skin quilt with decorative beads for their pastel colored nursery. Luckily, most relatives announce they are going to be quilting a handcrafted custom blanket well before they get out that first strand of thread. You may want to discuss the preferred fabrics and colors of the baby blanket before they start the project. But you will have to walk a fine line by not limiting your Aunt Caroline´s creativity. A little coordination will help ensure your baby quilt matches the nursery, and is the perfect fit for your newborn.
