A scalloped edge feels a bit more refined to me. Prairie corners would be a good choice IMO!

I have never put a scallops edges on a boys quilt. Never really gave it any thought. Friend told me once not to put any red Rick Rack on a boy's quilt because it was too girlie but I did anyways and came out like I had planned.
Yes, prairie points would probably be a better choice.
