I see the "Lucky Stars" demo is Episode 205 and is shown on the Fons and Porter website.

I think dots are neutral. The color or pattern might make a difference.

I like your blocks. They would be good for a male or female.

I asked DS (he's 18) if these were feminine & he said yes. He would not like 'em. He said that it wasn't the dots yet he couldn't put his finger on what it was. Like I said before they don't look feminine to me.

I don't think dots are feminine, especially not in black and white. I love dots and think that your blocks are amazing.

i've never heard of dots being feminine, many many guys like dots---there are plenty of guys out there though who would not want their boy to have the pink edges though- pink is still one of those colors that (manly men) through fits about if there is any hint of it in anything for (their boy)
great blocks! but if i was making a gender neutral quilt i would edge in purples, blues, greens, oranges, yellows---stay away from pink---and maybe it 's just my computer making it look pink and really it's red? red as long as it's not predominant is ok
