It can be difficult to find a meaningful gift for the expecting parents at a baby shower. However, if you’re interested in quilt design, you can create a beautiful keepsake they will treasure for a long time. The staff at The Maui Quilt Shop in Kihei, HI, has all the supplies you need to do it; here, they share a few reasons to create a quilt for a baby shower.

4 Reasons to Create a Quilt for Expecting Parents

1. Nursery Theme

With the right quilt design, you can match the nursery theme the parents have chosen for the child. This ensures your quilt can be properly displayed and admired in the room until it’s used for practical purposes.

2. Practical Use

Handmade blankets are beautiful to look at, but they’re also eminently practical. They can be used to provide a soft surface for a baby to lie on when the floor isn’t carpeted. They’re also great for providing extra warmth on a cool day when the baby needs to be bundled up in a stroller.

3. Great Keepsake

Many parents keep their children’s quilts and give it to them as a keepsake when they grow up. Owning something that you’ve had since you were a baby is special, and the person who made it will always be remembered along with the quilt.

4. Personal Gift

Giving someone a quilt is a personal gift. The recipient will appreciate the time you spent on finding the perfect quilt design and doing the actual work. The fact that it’s handmade and not just bought by you will certainly increase the perceived value of your present.
