    what happened to all the cool boy fabrics ?
    Sorry, Dreamer, about your cutter. And as far as the boy fabric, I know what you mean. I have tried to make quilts for teenage boys for Quilts for Kids. They had better like sports, guitars, whales, or sports cars. And for the mid-age that you are focussing on, is near impossible too. You can go the licensed characters route, but is very expensive. Check out thousandsofbolts.com and fabricshack.com. An even better one is e-quilter.com. If she doesn't have it no one does. She has grab bags of fabrics for various interests, like animals, sports, etc. Shipping comes fast too.

    Hey Dreamer,

    For boys that age you could do different colors to. Like red, white, blue or greens or beiges. I have seen fishing and camping at JoAnn Fabrics. I have a son. At that age, he would have loved it. I did a red,white and blue one he loves.
    I used JoAnn Fabrics and and new clearance boxers from american eagle and Hollister as a joke. It's become a favorite.

    not so much that I can't...just can't do a bunch because they don't know the likes of the children they give these quilt to...make sense ?
    maybe I'm the one can't see it right.
