    Default Opinion, please

    I was going to use this beautiful fabric with turtles for a baby quilt for a boy. But when picking other colors to go with it, I noticed alot of pinks in it. They are brite and varigated. But not sure if it would be ok for boys. What do you think? Thanks

    As long as pink was not the primary it would be fine. It also has blues purples yellows which would all go with it making it more masculine.

    ummm, well it is pretty vibrant and has some pink in there; but in my opinion it can be used as a universal quilt since the background is green and there is some blue in there; I think it will turn out quite nice!

    I think you will be fine, as long as other colors are used with this pattern such as reds, yellows, blues, purples or the background green. It will be a colorful and cheery quilt. Keep us posted.

    That fabric would be an excellent choice for both girls and boys depending on what colours you added. I would pair it with that turquoise blue for a boy? Hot pink would go well for a girl.

    I think it would be okay for a boy.

    I think it's fine. Those pink/blue conventions are not as strong as they used to be.

    I think this fabric would be just great for a boy; bright, cheerful and happy! And when I look at this fabric, I'd have to say "it's green" because of the background.
