scallop edges on a quilt
I am working on a D4P for my soon to be born great nephew. The fabric has fire trucks on it, so it is not girlie at all. I am thinking about a border and making it with scalloped edge. My son looked at me like I was crazy and told me those curvey edges are girlie. What do you think? Its a quilt for a baby, will the scallop edging make it a girlie quilt? ( I have only made one scallop edge quilt so I was looking forward to the practice.. but I don't want to make it a girlie quilt for a little boy)

I also think of scallops as more of a feminine touch. While a young boy would probably have no problem with it, it might be a source of embarrassment, for an older one. Maybe you can learn scallops, on something for his mom.

There are lots of videos on them and many ways to do them. Some techniques makes them easier than others. You could use solid fabrics in the colors that are in the quilt and mix them up. That would be so pretty.
