Before you ask, yes the MSU quilt top is done. :)
(I'll get a photo when I can get it all in.)
That means I can start something new, right?
(Before I knew about the quilts for boys.)
Lightbulb!
So I dug through my fabrics with a color scheme in mind. And I drafted the block as a paper pieced project because I'd like those skinny pieces to all be the same size.
Yep, with my OLD QuiltPro, I can do these paper pieced blocks and they all come out the same size. It may be old, but it still works well for my purposes. (And I understand the software is still out there - newer versions, of course.)
(No they didn't pay me to say that!)
The celestial print you see peeking in there will be the back.
And I sewed a few just to get me going...
30 more blocks to go!
And green borders.
So what do you think...will a teenage boy like this?
(But I may have to raid my mom's stash for more grey...)
Happy quilting,
Katie

Yes, it is definitely a boy quilt. Isn't it lovely to stay home and have time to quilt!

That is really neat! I love the tiny stripe of grey in there. I'm sure a teenage boy will like it!
My GS would see a baseball diamond, complete with green grass! He would love it! Good choice! ---"Love"
That will be perfect for a boy! The colors are great! My guild makes quilts for children's hospital in Dallas and they are always asking for quilts for teenage boys also. I have started some "boy" blocks.
Very nice! That sliver of grey all around really adds punch. I think it's just right for a teenage boy.
It will be just finr Katie. It's such a striking design and terrific colour combo. ann :-)
I think it looks great;) You are on a streak here;) Keep up the fun;)
Happy Quilting!!
Great pattern! Strong and striking colors. I think anyone would like to get that quilt.
Keep stitching
