before you speak THINK

I watched & was so excited that a guy has ideas, etc! I have made 2 of the 'skateboard' block. It is really easy. My #2 DGS loves to skateboard....Originally Posted by QuiltnNan

I also liked the skateboard quilt that MSQC SENT out this past week. I think it's perfect for that age group. Just my suggestion.
I used Spiderman fabrics and made Warm Wishes for my grandson. He loves it.
Blessed are the quilters, for they are the piecemakers.
I know boys are hard to make & buy for! I have 2 DGS. I'm making all my DGK graduation quilts. #1 DGS will graduate this May & his bro will graduate in 2016. I already have a lot of blocks for him.
Idea: I have been & am in some block swaps. I have asked before for star blocks but now am asking for "girly" blocks (for my 5 DGDs. Have #1's top done for this May but still have to get back together). Had to think & think about the boys. Finally went stars & misc blocks. The turkey track, for example. There are soooo many blocks to choose from... One day I will post a pic.

He LIKED your gd's quilt. Make him a turkey track one with his own colors and may switch up the tracks a wee bit. There is mothing girly about turkey tracks. Dont overthink this.
You could ask him if he liked this pattern and if he does - ask him for some colr preferences.
He might also like purple - the color has been associatd with royalty (and the minnesota vikings football team).
I think purple and gray, purple and gold, purple with black and white are possible combinations.
I like purple and red or orange -but the RedHat groups have claimed the red/purple combo. Some sunsets have those colors in them.
What yobro said! Or just ask him. Hand him a couple of quilt books and ask him to pick one out. I really like the Labyrinth Walk pattern too. I would just ask him. Seems to me if he never displayed any interest at all until he saw GD quilt, I would make him part of the process. Ask him his favorite colors and let him pick out the pattern.
My 16 year old son made this one:
How about a cool 3-D pattern? Check out ABC 3-D Tumbling Blocks and More, by Marci Baker. She has some techno looking designs that are very man friendly. I also like the idea that you had with the labyrinth walk pattern, which is also 3-D looking.
