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?

Re: Little boy fabric
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.....
Home is where your mother is..........

Re: Little boy fabric
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.

Re: Little boy fabric
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

Re: Little boy fabric
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:

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