If he is into sports, music, or a particular interest, look for those patterns in fabric, then design your own. I'm doing a basic (blocks and strips, and a few triangles maybe) quilt similar to the one I did for my 3 year old grandson. This one will be baseball related and will, as did the 3 year old's quilt, include actual photos of the 11+ year old playing his games this summer.

So many times it is not the pattern but the fabric that makes it gender specific! :-D

scroll down, it's the red and black one
Its not too hard, you put it together rather like a bargello.

That is on my list of "to do" projects, hopefully this year, I have printed off the pattern and that as far as I have gotten so far. LOL

I agree that it is the fabric that defines a quilt. My oldest DGS loves dogs so I found some really cute dog fabric. I am going to do it in simple blocks (12" so you can really see the dogs) with double sashing around each block. Very simple, but he will love it.
