The blocks will go for either gender I would think. They look great.

I think they are beautiful, but that being said, my first thought when I pulled up the picture was the white looked like lace.

Dots are gender neutral IMHO. These are gorgeous blocks and would be loved by either one. Thank you for sharing.

Those block with dots are not to feminine! They remind me of outer space, planets and phases of the moon. Use them all you want. Like the pattern lots!

I read all the responses and this one best fits my first thought. Any additional fabrics would swing it more gender based one way or another. I like your blocks, I love anything wonky!

I need to clarify on the Fons and Porter instructions for the star block. Their website has 2 different 200 series shows. The Lucky Stars demo is in the series at the bottom of the list on the left side of the page. That group has only a 100 and a 200 series. It is episode #205 of that 200 series.

We only have sons...I have asked a couple of them about polka dots...they consider them "feminine"....stripes are considered more masculine around here:)

I think dots can be either gender, just use the right colors and it would look great.

these would make a great boy's quilt. I made a log cabin quilt in black & white prints (including dots), with red centers...my son (then 16) snagged it.
I say go for it!
Where did you get this pattern? looks fun

What girl doesn't love polka dots, very cute

Now that you've asked I do think polka dots are girly. I've never seen anything in ready to wear for men in polka dots. However, I love the blocks.

My DH and DS say polka dots are girly. I love your blocks though!

I love the blocks. The black and white prints are gender neutral. Since you added the more pinkish striping into it, I think that does make it more feminine. It is beautiful either way.

I think dots are for anyone.

Thanks, everybody for your opinions. Although I and many of you don't consider dots to be feminine, the responses that came when people asked their male family members indicate that I should target this quilt to girls if I want to use the dotted fabrics that I have. It does make it easier for me, since I can find other black and white fabrics that have flowers easier than strictly geometrics.

So I am going to proceed with my project. Right now I plan to have the strips in various bright colors, such as the red in my pictures, and the back will be a tiny floral - white on black. This quilt will certainly be a fun project!

I think it is fine for either or.

Very cool! I'll have to try that!!!!

I think they would work for a boy. :)
