Unless I fall madly in love with a fabric for a girls quilt I tend to make the majority of my Linus donations with a boy in mind. I also make, usually fleece blankets, that would be useful to a teen sized boy. As a wife, sister of three brothers and a stepmother of two sons, I know just how much the male gender really appreciate the attention.
