This activity quilt from Taggies looks like a lot of fun.  Even a newborn appreciates the sights and soft textures of a nice playmat.  We often use the mats from our play gyms by themselves for this very reason.  With its super-soft fabrics, this mat from Taggies is sure to please.  While younger babies will enjoy the comfort of plush fabrics, older babies will be captivated by the peek-a-boo mirror and the squeaky pig, musical lamb, and crinkly cow toys.  Parents will appreciate the soft handles for easy portability.  Overall, this toy looks very inviting.  You can purchase one for $49.99 at ThreeWishesToyStore.com.

This Travel Baby quilt from Pitter Patter Collections is both pretty and practical. Made to match Pitter Patter’s Jasmine line of nursery bedding, this quilt is slightly smaller than an average crib quilt, measuring 36″ x 36″ square. It is therefore perfect for babies who are on the go–you can take it to daycare, Grandma’s house, throw it in the pack-n-play, etc.

The quilt is made from a gorgeous pink paisley print with a whimsical elephant square in the center. The elephant has a great vintage appeal that looks like something from my own babyhood in the 70s. The combination of these prints is eye-catching and unique. It is not surprising that celebrities such as Denise Richards, Julia Roberts, and Courteney Cox-Arquette are all fans of the company’s designs.

You can purchase this great quilt for $79 at StellaMaternity.com. Additional items from the Jasmine line are also available.

If you aren’t planning to use a bumper in your crib, buying a nice crib quilt is a good way to get a high-end look without paying for something you won’t be able to use.  This George crib quilt from Olli and Lime caught my eye for that very reason.  Made from 100% organic cotton, this piece features a fresh, modern design in lime and chocolate.  It is very gender-neutral, and would be easy to match with solid colored sheets and a crib skirt, to create a complete look.  I can envision a lot of great nursery accessories that would match as well.

When your child outgrows a crib, this quilt is also a perfect fit for a toddler bed.  Even though my two year old is now in a twin bed, she still uses her crib quilt for daycare.  You will definitely get a lot of use out of one of these great quilts.  You can purchase one for $120 at tinydecor.com.  Even adding in sheets and a crib skirt, you will spend less than you would on many sets.

If you don’t have quilt creating grandmas like my husband does, the next best thing is available at swankybabyboutique.com for $125.00. In bright colors and bold patterns, there’s sure to be a perfect addition for anyone’s nursery décor. I especially love the quilt donned “Caden’s Quilt”, done in blues, greens, and whites with textured edging and complementary fabrics. It’s 30” X 36” and the back is made from minky chenille, just the thing for caressing baby’s cheek and soft skin night after night for years to come. I’d design a nursery with white sheets and dust ruffles that would pop but not overpower the quilt, walls in blue and white stripes, and paintings done in geometric shapes in blues and greens with similar curtains. It would make for a mod and fun look, but when designing around a fun quilt in designer fabrics, there are endless options one could go with.
