    Default Little boy fabric

    I just found out I am having a baby boy. So I am on the look out for cute little boy fabrics for a quilt. I am going to make a drunkard's path where each block is circle in the middle. Then I will reverse which fabric is the square and whichs the circle in the next block.

    What are your favorite fabrics for little boys?

    Clean ones....................seriously, the trend right now has been gray and another color-teal, yellow, you get the idea. When I make a quilt, I like to make it big enough and general enough that it will be put to good use for several years. I had a dear friend that made an adorable frog quilt for my first...it was only about 45x45 and of no use except to be hung on a wall....it crushed me as I wanted to use it so bad. But when you start with 9' babies and go up.....

    Congrats! and welcome to the club of Mothers and Grandmothers of Boys.

    I have found it much harder to find boy fabric than girl fabric. Too bad I have two sons and three grandsons. As much as I like the pink and purple owls out there, somehow I don't think any of the boys/men of the family will like them all that much.

    I have had good luck with Timeless Treasures. This is a cute fabric! Sea Babes Collection - Timeless Treasures

    The older T.T. lines are really cute too and y ou can find them on etsy, ebay, etc.

    I like to make baby quilts large also. Take a look at the Riley Blake fabrics. There are some really cute ones.

    I have 2 boys and I actually like to take advantage of being able to use fun kids prints and agree that Riley Blake has some really cute stuff. But I agree on the making them a bit bigger

    Congratulations! Timeless Treasures has nice animal prints that would be very sweet for a little boy. I also purchased from M* the Fox Trails fabrics from Riley Blake and liked it a lot. This is the pic of the prints:

    I thought the Jungle Club line was adorable. I'm thinking of doing it for my sisters first grandchild due late February.

    I found fabrics with construction items for my engineer sons baby boy and for another grandson I found fabrics with cars, planes, trains and boats and added in some coordinating fabrics. I made my quilts large enough to be used in the crib and toddler bed.
