Yers. If that is what he wants. Thomas has some nice fabrics and there is a lot of red in them.

Absolutely make him a red quilt! I'd stay away from Thomas, unless you want to do another one fairly soon. He might grow out of Thomas before a generic red quilt. You can make Thomas pillows to coordinate.
