Quilts are what most people are familiar with, I won't say everyone because there's always someone who is the exception to the rule, and most likely you have one or more quilts on your bed right now.
Blanket Quilt To choo-choos, airplanes, alphabet letters, boats and duckys are often a favorite baby quilt patterns.
