It
comes packed in a small box, compared to the stroller and playpen
cartons that might dominate the gift pile at the baby shower, but you
can be sure that the homemade baby quilt inside the modest packaging
will make a giant impression on all who see it at the baby shower that
day, and all who have the pleasure of having it in the family.
Why
do handmade baby quilts top the typical presents at a shower?
- Something
Personal Is Always Most Cherished
It’s
safe to say that something personal is going to mean a lot more than
something generic. A mass-produced sun suit or pinafore may be cute,
but nothing about it sends the message that the gift was chosen to
perfectly match the family’s character.
Yet
a baby
boy handmade quilt with an underwater design might be just the perfect
way to introduce the newborn to a family of fishermen. Or a design with
little sailboats gliding on a blue and white polka-dotted sea could
launch the newest member in a boating family. Does Mom teach
biology? What better inspiration for her offspring than a
baby girl handmade quilt of little leaping frogs?
- Hand-made
Baby Quilts Have Staying Power
The
gift-givers gathered around the soon-to-be mom at the shower will
immediately recognize that the handmade
baby quilt will continue to be enjoyed long after the gifts they
brought to the party are history. Those tiny outfits will be outgrown
in no time, and many of the stuffed animals never survive the washing
machine. But a hand made baby quilt plays a large role in a
baby’s life, and the person who presented it will not be
forgotten.

Unique Homemade Baby Quilts
Are Versatile
Baby
quilts are soft, cuddly crib companions. The soothing flannel and
textured minky fabrics ease the road to dreamland, while the warmth
keeps baby cozy on cool nights. Because they are so light and portable,
baby will find a familiar environment when there’s a visit to
Grandma’s house or a stop in a motel. And later,
when there’s lots of playtime on the floor, the hand made
baby quilts make great play mats, protecting baby from the floor
underneath and protecting the floor from baby. Still later yet, a
well-loved, hand made baby quilt might be passed on to a new brother or
sister, or packed away to be treasured as a keepsake by newer
generations of the family.
