Frequently Asked Questions
What fabric is best for a baby quilt?+
Soft 100% cotton in gentle colors is the classic choice; add flannel or a plush blender for a cuddlier quilt. Reorderable solids like Color Wheel Solids Baby Pink make matching easy.
Should baby quilt fabric be pre-washed?+
Pre-washing removes any excess dye and shrinkage before the quilt is finished, which is especially reassuring for a baby quilt that will be washed often.
What colors work for a gender-neutral nursery?+
Soft sage, gray, cream, mustard, and gentle aqua make lovely gender-neutral palettes — pair a simple print with calm solids.
