Based on Gay's layouts, I can see now that the top two better accentuate the snowboarders rather than the design. My preference is the upper left one.

I like the three on the right. I would prefer a bright yellow or red instead of the black.

I would pop a gold in there somewhere....

I like the one with the wide sashing as it makes the snowboarding fabric pop more. Like the fabrics, so know grandson will love it.

I think either one you pick will be great. If your DGS prefers darker/manly prints then don't put in a pop of color. You know him best. Your fabrics all play nicely together.

I like using black as often as I can! But either the black or the blue would be great. I don't think I would use the center one for sashing, it may distract from the blocks. Have you considered doing a black sashing with a bright color cornerstone? maybe the yellow?

What I'm second guessing myself is the sashing around the squares using the black, blue and woodlands fabric. Do you think these colors will be OK, or should I go back to the drawing board?

Thanks!

Maybe switch the woodland with an off white or cream to match the background in the snowboarding fabric.

I like them together, and would put them in the same order you show them. The quilt will be great!

Gay, Your pictures are awesome! Thank you so much! My husband was trying to help me with my choices earlier today and I finally just put it away... LOL But seeing your collage really helped us! I'm going to go with the top left one. It is manly, as Barny says. I don't know how you did this collage, but it really helped me. Thank you again! :thumbup:
