well done!! thanks for including the pattern! i'd like to make some quilts for older boys too. i was blessed to have 2 boys and they were lucky enough to stay healthy and out of hospitals and other disasters, but if things had been different, i know they would have appreciated quilts. guys are people, too. we focus on the pretty and the pink, and forget that there are a whole lot of very fragile deserving boys with hard lives, too, that could use re-assuring and comfort. so great job! and thanks for not ignoring the boys!
