A coworker of mine is going to have her first baby and we're not sure whether it will be a boy or a girl yet. Because I generally take forever to get anything done, I figured it would be a good idea to start sooner rather than later, which left me deciding on how to go gender-neutral for her quilt.

I asked her about her favorite colors/themes and she said turquoise, blue, green, and BUGS! I've been working on taming scraps for the past few weeks, so I decided to go with a super-scrappy and use up some 2.5" squares. The bug fabric will be in the center of all squares (scraps inherited from a past coworker's mother) and I'll probably sash with a solid or tone-on-tone turquoise with cornerstones. That way I can surround the whole thing with a turquoise border. There will be 20 squares total.

Do you think this looks gender-neutral enough? Not too girl and not too boy?

I think it works! It doesn't scream little boy or little girl at me, just kids in general.

I think it looks great, but a bit on the boyish side.

Pretty fabric choices! They should work either way. If it turns out to be a girl you can always add some lace if you think it's not girly enough!

It is looking good. Looking forward to seeing how it ends up.
