Shooting at 1/6 shutter speed will cause major camera shake, which will make photos soft/blurry. Try opening your ap up more to let in more light and pushing your ISO up so you can get a faster shutter speed.

Default love the idea of this image

i love the idea behind your image. i couldn't resist to play with it. i'll take it down if you'd like. just a cute image...what color is the blanket in the original photo? i made it green.....to go with that "pea in a pod" feel...you could get an even better edit with the original...this was just a quick edit using a colorize method. also just used levels white dropper to white out the background.

I may have to try something similar to this idea someday

Too cute! Love the idea and may use it as well. So easy (and safer than hanging a baby from a limb.)

The original blanket was charcoal grey I would say. I did a whole series of these I call them "womb" shots.
