Lots of boys like purple, so I can't see why lavendar would not work for a boy. The brown plaid flannel will 'man' it up, too.

I don't know what I will use as the backing if I don't use the flannel for the backing.... time to go back in the stash Nothing wrong with that for a girl, especially coordinating with those cute bears! |
Even a whole cloth one would be great for the little girl. The ruffle on the edges will be fun too! :)

I think that would be very compatible together. Please share a picture when you finish.

I think that anything you give to this family will be treasured. And the fact that it is handmade is just extra special. I work with a battered women's shelter and some of these kids rarely have received a gift, much less something made with love. Bless you.

thanks everyone.... we will see how things end up :)
oh yes you know that I will show and tell ha ha |

The bear fabric is as cute as can be, but I'm not sure I'd put lavender in a quilt for a boy.
Oh I see her reply now. It is for a girl. |
Will be so darling.

Why not the plaid?

Warm Wishes pattern would work up fast. But I wouldn't cut up the plaid. I think the cute print needs to play alone or with solid/tone one tone blenders or tiny scale print in one of the bow colors. I love the plaid for backing and your idea for purple satin ruffle.
