I made this using a panel and added some borders. Quilted super quick on my DSM.

Oh children are still supposed to be in coats, but with the need to have little ones snugly strapped into protective car seats, parents have eliminated coats/jackets until the baby is older and can be in a larger car seat. All about safety, so tossing a warm blanket over the child while in the car or going from car to building is the norm now. Changing times.

Default playing tag baby quilt

The pattern is called playing tag from allpeoplequilt.com . You can use charms to speed up the process.

I made this quilt for my soon to arrive granddaughter. It's a pattern called Color Therapy and you can find it at the Annie's digital website.

Sorry! I didn't read far enough. I see you want quilts for a boy.

I purchase a layer cake or charm packs in character fabrics. and simply sew the squares together. There are several with animals, alphabets or bright colors. Seems lately if I ask what colors the nursery is, I hear gray and yellow. Nope. I make the quilt large enough to use on the floor for when the baby wants to practice pushing up and rolling over. It's great to have a clean spot for that.

As far as colors, red, white, and blue is always good, especially for boys. You could go monochromatic with blue or green, or you could pick a cute backing fabric and pull a couple of colors from it to make your top.
