    I am also making a quilt for my 1 year old son. I want it to last him for many years and one that he could take to college if he wanted so i made it out of outer space fabric and and the world fabric that watterside used in the second pic. as for patterns that would be good. star patterns are always good for boys. Jinney beyer has some and you could always go with the hunters star. hope this helps.

    Our quilt group makes quilts for children who are taken from their homes and families. We use the Churn Dash pattern, using a fussy cut of a child's theme as the center block. It's an excellent way to use up scraps in a positive manner. Your quilts will be loved no matter how they're made.

    I would think that action figures, superman, batman, ironman, dirt bikes,muscle cars,etc would work well for that age group along with sports themes would be good.
    Hope that helps you.
