Red face Quilts for Boys...

Seems like most has flowers or pink or something to make it more girl friendly. We are trying to be more careful to select for boys but it's difficult. Glad to know that it's not just us.
More simple block Quilts in shades of Green, browns, darker blues, stripes and plaids, greys and combo of colors. Hey there is always Tractor and Farm and hunting prints, leaf prints, mountains, pine trees, Fishing type prints... and patterns. Hey even a Quilt pattern that is spelled out on the Quilt face "Boy" "My Son" etc...
