I know how hard it is to feel motivated to make something you don't really like.
Or a bunch of teddy bears appliqued each in it's own block? |

Anything brown and with ditsy 1970s calicos, UGH! No headache, but it was a force to the finish. Good luck on your own headache. Jan in VA |
Use the complimentry colors of red (for green) and purple ( for yellow) with the same intensity as the olive green and mustard yellow. There could even be flecks of them in the purple and red. Maybe designed fabric. Hope that helps both you and the boy.

That wouldn't be my cup of tea either. I don't think I've ever sewn a color or color combo that I really disliked.

You are forgiven. We all love our teams. GO DUCKS! |

I suffered thru one of black and bright orange which happen to be school colors and delivered it just recently they love it. As you say different strokes for different folks I love my pastels most I guess.
