I agree with Tartan. The fabrics you choose to go with it can determine whether it is a boy's or a girl's quilt.

Can't wait to see it. I love the fabric and love that the colors are so vibrant. They say bright colors are best for babies, don't remember why.

I think it's a perfect fabric for both boys and girls. If you pick up the other colors the pinks will not dominate and the quilt could be used for either sex.

Exactly what I was thinking! Really cute fabric but in my family it wouldn't fly for a boy. All depends on the parents.

Go for it- it's great fabric, and not girly despite some touches of pink.

I took a poll here. The consensus was that it was a gorgeous print but sure had a lot of pink and purple. DH felt you should maybe ask the parents. I find this is often the problem with a lot of cute prints like that, bugs and novelty, way too much pink, purple and florals. I would probably save it for a little girl quilt.
