My grandson's baby quilt has scalloped edges. Why? Because I wanted to try the technique. He has had it for 6 months and appears to still be a boy, so no harm done.

I don't see a problem with scallops on a boy's quilt. |

My son looked at me like I was crazy and told me those curvey edges are girlie. What do you think? Its a quilt for a baby, will the scallop edging make it a girlie quilt? ( I have only made one scallop edge quilt so I was looking forward to the practice.. but I don't want to make it a girlie quilt for a little boy)
A scalloped edge feels a bit more refined to me. Prairie corners would be a good choice IMO! |
I have never put a scallops edges on a boys quilt. Never really gave it any thought. Friend told me once not to put any red Rick Rack on a boy's quilt because it was too girlie but I did anyways and came out like I had planned.
Yes, prairie points would probably be a better choice. |
Scallops as wheels. That could be very doable. And would look great on a car or truck or heavy equipment quilt.
|
You could also use jumbo ric rac. Sew it around the edge of quilt making sure it will peek out... then bind as usual. Adorable on baby quilts!
|
LynnG - never thought of jumbo ric rac. I may check into that.. if not for this quilt there will always be more quilts :)
|
Or instead of scallops you could make V points on the edges. Just point each scallop instead of rounding it.
|
I'm with your son on this one.
