Beginning a New Baby Quilt

I've always thought bright, colorful quilts are best for babies.  When their little eyes can focus, they gravitate toward those bright colors.  But this new grandgirl who is due to arrive near the end of April has four creative, active, energetic older siblings.  Her mom and I agree that a light, calm, pastel quilt might be best for this baby.

With that in mind, my One Monthly Goal is to begin a scrappy baby quilt with all or some of these fabrics.

I have an idea or two -- pink, but not too much pink; light, airy, welcoming, warm -- but not an exact plan.  I'll begin with scrappy but I'm open to making traditional blocks, too.  It will be interesting to see which and how many of these fabrics play well together.  I have more I can pull but I'll start with these (and some other small scraps).

So my One Monthly Goal for February is to begin a baby quilt.  And now it's playtime for me!

I'm linking this post to One Monthly Goal February Link-up at Elm Street Quilts.  Thank you for hosting, Patty.   Be sure to click the link to see the goals others have chosen for February.
