I'd try an "I Spy" quilt with 6 or 8" blocks featuring trucks, trains, planes,
sports, animals, etc. etc.

I would go scrappy. Maybe darker colors or black and white, or blues. That should make teen boys happy. And just about any bright scrappy colors for the younger ones

I made a Bug Jar Quilt for my great-grandson and it was a big hit.

i would make strip or string quilts for the boys, just leave out the pinks. the strips are small enough, usually no more than 2inch finished, to really tell they are girly.

go to
www.quiltville.com

Bonnie has instructions, stashbusting.. too!
i do use a muslin foundation piece, usually about 1 or 2 inches bigger than i want, then trim it/square it up to size when done.

the half string half solid piece is quick!

Red whie and blue

I made a red, white and blue log cabin for my son when he was about 11. He is now near 30 and still uses it. (I've patched it a few times).

I just finished a rail fence in browns and blues and a puzzle quilt for two grandsons graduating from High School.

Sewlmatesister. Luvin Quilting has some beautiful quilts that can be made for boys. They are bright and cheery. They look like they would be quick and easy to make. They are in the Pictures section. Enjoy!! Eiltcoq.

debbie mumm has a line of fabric that is fishing and another of ducks and wild animals that seem very "manly" they might like a quilt with them since they are getting to be "too old" for more childish prints. just a thought.
