I bought some GI Joe fabric that is really making cute little boy quilts.. but I guess that depends on if he likes GI Joe or not
I sewed 6-1/2"strip of focus fabric (GI Joe) to a 1-1/2" strip of light fabric (I used white) then sewed a 2-1/2" darker fabric (I used red)
I made 5 of those sets and sewed them together - went together quick.
Here is a picture of the same pattern with From The Ground Up collection from Thousands of Bolts
