I think the brown or the bright blue just under it. May creating the "big boy" quilt ease your heart and mind. Be gentle with yourself and after a time you may be blessed again.

I love the vertical colors you have chosen and I agree with you. The bottom horizontal one goes extremely well.

I like the bottom fabric best. Hope your busy hands help in this painful time.

Are you doing this as a quilt as you go? Quick and easy.
1. Cut out batting and a backing colour same size as front
2. Start at the step side left at the top.
3. Place first piece bottom batting top as if a sandwich . Place top of next piece right sides together .
4. Place batting on top of the second top.
5. Place back piece right side to right side of first piec.
6' machine all together I would use 1/2incg seam .
7. Press well.

I am sure you get the idea it does grow vey quickly and you can trim seam if you wish.
You can also quilt a design on each section when sewn

I like high contrast. I think the bottom blue may be the same value as the verticle brown. I think the top two/left have the most value contrast to the two verticle. I don't know the pattern you mentioned, so I'm going at this like a mystery quilt. It's have do make decisions without the pattern. I think high contrast is more masculine for your boy.

A gentle and soothing combination might be the ferns and bottom blue.

I also had a SAB and it took a long time to recover.

I originally liked the ferns until I did what lakekids said and she is right, so I vote with the bottom blue and top brown. Sorry for your loss.
