Patchwork Quilts Make Ideal Baby Shower Gifts
Being invited to a baby shower means that you will have to arrive at the party with a gift for the new baby. Instead of buying the rather typical onesies, bib sets or crib mobiles, you might want to consider some of the lovely patchwork quilts available for babies.
Quilts brighten any nursery with colorful panels and coordinates. There are all types of patterned quilts for sale and you can easily find many retailers specializing in quilts and baby bedding on the internet. Quilt setsare available which include a quilt and a coordinating bumper that would make the perfect gift for any new infant. Once you begin to look around online at all of the many possibilities you will see that many of the quilts and sets being sold would be appropriate for either a baby boy or baby girl. For instance a quilt featuring adorable teddy bears or baby animals would be fine for either a boy or a girl as would quilts featuring toys such as rocking horses.
Some websites even have hand sewn quilts for sale that are painstakingly created by professional seamstresses. This type of quilt obviously costs more than one made in a factory, but if the baby belongs to a close family member and you want to give a gift that can be passed down through the generations, it would be worth the extra money you pay. Handmade quilts are one of a kind gifts that any new mother would adore receiving for her new baby so consider buying one if you can afford it.
Any high quality baby quilt will provide the child with comfort, security and warmth. Quilts are ageless gifts and they make wonderful baby shower gifts. As the baby grows he/she can use the quilt to snuggle up with at nap time or to take along in the stroller when out for a walk with mom and dad.
If you know the theme of the nursery, try to match the quilt you buy with that theme. If you do not happen to know what the color theme is of the nursery, it would be completely appropriate for you to call the new parents to find out. You of course could buy a blue quilt for a boy and a pink for a girl, or choose a completely neutral color that is appropriate for both sexes. You can even find retailers that will personalize the quilts with the baby’s name.
