Cute boylines?

Hello Ladies and Gents,

one of my closest friends that I still have in Germany is expecting a boy in early October. I knew before already that she was pregnant but just yesterday she told me it will be a little man! So now of course I would love to make her a cute baby quilt.

Any idea on a cute boyline? Someone made cute quilts with boats, I am thinking that might work. Or whatever else that inspires me. My friend loves blues so the fabric line souldn't only please the son but also the mother :D

I think the line would kind of depend on which pattern you were going to do. For example, if you were to do the sailboats that Jenny did in a tutorial, you might not want a fabric line with airplanes all over it. :) If you are thinking falling charms or something like that, what about the Oink a Doodle Moo or Rockets and Robots? I have some of both of them waiting for me to do something with. I just thought they were so cute. I am sure that there are lots more, those are 2 that I thought of right away. Have fun planning - I think that is one of the best parts of quilting! :)

Hey Lisa!

Thanks for your answer. I am planning to make a quilt similar as the second video on this page:

I find it so cute that I have planned 2 of them already and now the boy quilt. Instead of the flower applique I would love to make boat(s) and sea. I think that should turn out super cute!

Then how about Catch of the Day? It has a nice nautical feel to it, but is still fun.

They have yardage too as well as crab shack sign panels :)

I found this quilt made by a member and I just love it! I found a blue and green one on the net but can't seem to post it. Probably the way I copied it. It only has four fabrics.

I'm trying to use up my stash so I'm not up on boy's right now.

Hey Lorie!

That quilt is just adorable! And four fabrics only... hmmm that would be an idea... well I have to see! A plus is definitely that I wouldn't have to spend a fortune on fabrics since it doesn't need that much. I am lacking boy colors. (I am nearly lacking everything. Hmpf! But I am getting there :D) ... unfortunately October is not that far away anymore and I will have to order soon.

Thanks, added this cute quilt definitely on my "to do" list! (Perhaps not for the boy but I will make it! It's so cute!)

I had to give a pat on my back if you like it or not. You know how hard it is to find something you found before? lol

Sorry Steffie we were typing at the same time. Isn't it cute!

Yes it is! I imagine it easier to make for a girl since girl fabrics are much easier to find lol. At least for me.

Riley Blake seems to have some very cute fabrics for biys. I've used several for gifts for boys. Don't think the fabrics are still available, but I used Scoot ( transportation) Pirates, and the last one I did was Under Construction by Benartex. I also did a PICU quilt using Rockets and Robots and Jungle Bungle.

Yea, it's hard to find pretty boy lines that have many blues, I've noticed. Really weird, since worldwide blue is THE color for boys. I think I'll have to look more into the adult schemes. I am afraid I'll have to use "Spa" from Deb Strain for moda. Sometimes they still are available via Ebay. I didn't find them here, sadly :(

I scanned the boy fabrics and there are tons of cute fabrics, just not boats that I saw...

However, one of the cutest quilts I've seen is a Boat quilt that Jenny did.
And you can do it with any boy fabrics or what you want.

:) I love it because you can go super baby or older depending on that main print and just pulling the colors out. Sometimes you find that fabric you have to have and then it's now what? lol

Steffie I like to go to etsy, you don't have to wade through so much like ebay. here are some cute sail boat fabrics.

Thank you, Lorie :) Now I am wondering if I should perhaps just pick out 4 of these adorable fabrics and make the quilt you suggested. Hmmm will have to ponder that a couple days! Thanks for your effort!

I usually search fabrics.com to get some ideas. If you type "boys prints" into the search button, it will bring up quite a few.

Lori, I also like the ease of using Etsy. Steffie found 2 layer cakes there that I couldn't find anywhere else. I ordered, they shipped immediately and should be here today.

Yes, Sharyn, I checked out fabrics.com, too. Thanks for your effort :) But I wasn't very satisfied with what they came up with. :S I am not sure yet, what I want, I actually just made this post to get inspired by others. It's hard to please me for this one, haha! I want to create something special, this friend is very dear to me and she was there for me back then big time!

If she would get a girl it would be A LOT easier for me, I am more the girly girl hihihi... but well, I think like "Barney Stinson" in this case: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! ;)

I LOVE this fabric line! I HAD to get some when I saw it. It is even cuter in person than it is in pictures.

I like the fact that it would work for a boy for a few years, not be too "babyish" that he'll outgrow fast.

My grandson absolutely loves it! Someday I'll get to making his quilt form it. So much to do and so little time.
