I really like the Mason or bug jar quilt. Very cute! You know your son best, but I would agree with another member that some of the patterns are a little chaotic. The ones without any separation between blocks are just too much for me to take. I think the patterns with a border are easier on the eyes and easier to find the favorite items in the quilt. Have fun and have your son help pick out some of the blocks. Kids enjoy the fabrics as much as we do.
