color choices for a baby quilt for a boy...
#1
Hi y'all! I need some imput on color choices for a baby boys quilt, I'm thinking greens and browns or primary colors like red and blue, but my sister, the godmother is thinking baby blues, teals and light greens.
I want this quilt to be useful and attractive for longer than the 1st year of life, do you think that the baby blues and greens are masculine enough to last?

You could show her the choices on the fabric websites and let her see the variety available. The lighter colors to me still carry a "girly" feel to so many of them.
I try to use an animal or fun type print that is bright and colorful. After many many washings you want the colors to stick around and not be puny looking.
For a boy, the zoo look is great, construction items, dinosaurs, cars and what not.
No matter what the color, the love it's made with is the most important

I made my grandson a quilt with roads of denim, complete with striping, and 4 panels of farm animal scenes. It has a parking lot too that I painted lines on with fabric paint. He sleeps under it, then parks his cars on it on the floor, and sets up his animal barn and the fences.in the farm scenes.

Or will at 4 years old, if the quilt lasts that long.
Are you worried the other kids will taunt him in pre-K because his blankie isn't masculine enough?
:wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:
Just make the quilt with lots of love.
Drool and vomit and poop look the same on pink as they do on blue. :mrgreen:
