I am just finishing a lap quilt for my 10 year old granddaughter so now I am trying to plan a small quilt for my 7 year old grandson. I have been looking at fabric with planets, stars and UFOs. I am hoping somebody on here can suggest a pattern I could use. I don't want it to be too childish so he can use it as he grows. Thanks in advance.

I bought some GI Joe fabric that is really making cute little boy quilts.. but I guess that depends on if he likes GI Joe or not ![Smile](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png)
I sewed 6-1/2"strip of focus fabric (GI Joe) to a 1-1/2" strip of light fabric (I used white) then sewed a 2-1/2" darker fabric (I used red)
I made 5 of those sets and sewed them together - went together quick.
Here is a picture of the same pattern with From The Ground Up collection from Thousands of Bolts

Have you asked him what HE wants?
When I made a quilt for my nephew, I gathered pictures of all the quilts I wanted to make and put them in one file on my laptop. I had him look through that file and pick out the quilt he liked best, and I made it in the colors he wanted. Win-win!

Missouri Star has a tutorial for a skateboard quilt. It's easy to make.
