Here is a panel that dclutter sent me from California. I plan on changing it up a bit as my daughter is having a boy in December. I plan on changing the wings on the owls and perhaps some of the flowers and little bird wings. ![](https://www.quiltingboard.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=494232&stc=1)
Let me know what you think, every one here is great with ideas.

You could definitely make those changes to make the panel more gender appropriate. I like the solids you have picked out to go with it. You could applique a leaf over the pink flowers and applique a blue or brown wing and it would be perfect for a baby boy.

Thanks for the replies, yes Deb I plan on appliqueing over the wings and flowers. I am thinking 1.5 inch green border, .5 inch in the blue and then around 3 inch of the orange. Have to measure so it comes out a crib size. Le me know if you agree with the sizes for the borders.

I like your border fabrics you plan to add, but don't understand the removal of flowers. Don't boys like flowers? Can't boys love flowers? I think it's time to get over the gender split thing. Of course I wouldn't make a Barbie Doll quilt for a boy, but nature is loved by all.
Have you heard the saying: "Real men wear pink"? Our grandson wanted to wear pink at his sister's bat-mitzva. He wore a pink tie! He was 12 years old. Good luck on your quilt.
