I decided to not give my son a choice--as part of his home schooling, he was/is going to learn to sew by making some quilt tops. So, this is his first one. This is just the top and it will be for a boy as a charity quilt.
I think he's proud of it, though he groaned at the idea of getting his picture taken--I told him I wanted to put it on the quilting board.
The pattern is a "scrapbook" style pattern using focus fabrics which seemed perfect for a charity quilt and perfect for a beginner sewer. (I bought him fabrics with the themes of Ping Pong, Star Wars, Spiderman/Marvel comics, hamburgers, pizza, etc. --that will be next.)
The pattern is called Memento of Stitched Together studios and I got it as a free download from Benartex.com a while ago.
