I have liked making my 'cheater' I spy. I put a solid triangle (place sq in corner and sew on diagonal, trim extra) on two opposite sides of a novelty fabric. What I trim off, I make into a
HST and then into a flying geese for the border. I have used red or orange for the triangles/border. The flying geese in the border can be used to play match game. Here is a picture of a red one. If you would like a closer look, I"m making one now. Just PM me and I will post it here.

Very cute. I especially like the one with orange triangles. It seems so much brighter & fun.

Check out this posting - it's a wonderful option, IMHO.

Chose this for a gender neutral baby quilt........I used retro fabrics.

Are you being paid for this quilt?

This is very cute!

I love all this gender neutral term. Back in the dark ages, we never knew what we were having, now everyone wants to know before hand. My nephew and his wife recently had a dilemma when Garrett insisted that they not call the baby it, or baby, so he suggested they call the baby Bob. So cute. They did have a boy, but the nursery is decorated in farm animals, so that's the direction I'll take. But I loved that the baby had to be named before he/she was born. The world according to Garrett, so cute at 5 years old. I'd say stick to a theme, Care Bears, Winnie the Pooh, Noah's Ark, or go with primary colors. I saw a quilt in a magazine that was done in Amish primary colors and black, the roman stripe black and it was darling. I guess anything goes.

I would not put pink and only super dark purple in a quilt used for a boy. But I think you are very safe with most primary and secondary colors like green, some blue, yellow, orange, red etc.

Adorable!!!!

I agree with primary colors signed by her students. What a great keepsake that would be.
