Another Baby Blanket

I am currently waiting to hear what gender my niece's baby is going to be so I can begin making another baby blanket for her. The last one I made was pink and white because, yes, she was having a girl. I emailed her and I told her if it was a boy, of course I am going to knit a blue and white baby blanket. But if she has another girl I am going to use different colors. I am just not sure what colors I will use yet. I told her I was up for suggestions. In the meantime I have put my shrug in hibernation again and I am still working on knitting and felting hot pads for several people. I have many friends and relatives I would like to make these for.
