I do agree w/ previous poster who said these have appeal for all genders/ages..its a really great style with universal appeal and does fall somewhere between traditional and modern.
I agree with you on the border of that pattern, but that is what is neat about quilting. We can make each pattern "our own." I tend to prefer a small inner border of the lightest fabric and then a larger one of the darkest fabric.
In fact, I made a small wall hanging based on that pattern. Let me see if I can find a picture of it. I didn't use all the pattern, but I did start with it. I forgot how many fabrics I used, but you could count them. I like this wall hanging so much that I made the brown Bargello to match it.
