Baby quilt

So, I'm trying to make a small baby blanket/quilt.  You should at this point begin nodding your head and saying, "don't do it, Gina--you know nothing about this stuff."  I made a small quilt top out of random scraps of fabric from my aprons. Evidently I made them too random at first b/c piecing was too difficult, so I went w/more measured pieces, which is still difficult when you're going for a piecemeal/nonsymmetrical look.  I almost have the top pinned together.  If these were quilt blocks I might be able to figure out how to piece it more efficiently, but b/c as I stated it is non-patterened it is a booger to piece.  So I had to pin the whole thing together, and tomorrow I will sew it together to have a top that is in one piece.  I had my cozy fabric (for the other side of the blanket) and ribbons (for the touchy feely part) picked out at JoAnn's today, but the fabric cutting line was huge, and C was in a tantrum throwing mood.  Did you know that the last 3 times I've been to JoAnn's C has thrown a major tantrum.  It's like he knows it's a girly place and he should flee as fast as he can.  I don't know if it's the way it's set up, but he freaks out if the trip lasts more than 5-10 min, no matter what I do to try to distract him.  So, plan is to get the top part finished and then get to a fabric store this weekend and buy needed supplies and finish before next Thursday.  We will see if I make my deadline, but it's a real deadline--a baby shower, so I'm going to get it done.  Any cute baby shower decoration ideas that are simple for a very small shower (like 8 people or so)?  I'm running dry.  The nursery will be pink, green, and khaki w/ sheep.  I'm drawing a complete blank.
