Saw this dog quilt made up at a quilt show last weekend. It is adorable...wish I could get started on it myself, but too many projects already waiting in line . It's called Gone to the Dogs by judydiditdesigns: http://www.thecrazyquilter.com/Items...tothedogs.html

I am intrigued by I Spy quilts. I think they would be great for visual discrimination, vocabulary development and lots of fun as a game for toddlers. If you google images I Spy quilts you will find lots of variations. I am making this one. The tutorial is here: http://happyquiltingmelissa.blogspot...-tutorial.html

I love doing zoo animals for babies...anything animal...kids and parents seem to like them a lot...

This is one I made last year for a co-worker. Very simple, just nine-patches and sail boats. The alternating blocks are half square triangles but the pattern just asked for plain blocks. And the piano key border was just to make it bigger. It is 64" x 64"

I'm making a MCW quilt for my 5 yo GS. I'm using denim for the circles and a fire truck print for the squares inside. It's very cute.

I love the patterns by Country Quilter.

I don't know what a MCW quilt is, can you please enlighten me?

MCW stands for Mock Cathedral Window quilt. It is when you use circles and sew them together on the inside straight lines to form blocks. The circle edge or curve part is then folded over towards the center front to form scallops. The scallops can be the design itself or a square of fancy fabric can be put in the frame before the cuves are sewn down. There are some nice examples on Quiltingboard but also on the net. You might find them under MCW or circle quilts.

Morning everyone
One of the easiest quilts for a boy is to find bits of fabric with cars, trucks, construction kinds of vehicles....
Make a nine-patch with those. However, the center square will have an embroidered tool that you have done.
I sashed the quilt with red.

I did one of these for my newest grandson over 14 years ago and he STILL has it on his bed....altho, now it needs some restitching. LOL

(I found all sorts of tool pictures in color books and redrew them for the tool square. )

There was one shown on here the other day that was a lightening bolt. That would make a wonderful boy quilt, too.
Have fun!

I have some experience with this. I'm a mom of five and three are boys so I have made quite a few boy quilts. I have done the young eye spy with blocks and sashing. I did a homespun and old time sports theme trip around the world. I did a Halloween one because one of my sons love Halloween. i just did a Army theme quilt because his was the I spy and hes now 13 so hes outgrown that one...he still has it on his bed tho. My oldest son wants another quilt and hes requesting an outlined star quilt he liked the stained glass effect...but it will not be a bright one. I love homespun for boys because I think they are timeless but my boys have all different tastes. I also did a small dresser topper for my son with blocks that I call ninja star blocks and all the boys love those. Here's a picture of the last one.
