My grandson would have a fit. Nothing that even hints "GIRLS" for him. I like all the other material.

I would pass on the butterflies. Although it is very pretty.

I used a fussy cut butterfly square on my son's I spy quilt, good thing I didn't take any close-ups of the quilt when I posted it LOL! I think boys are just as capable of appreciating beauty and color. Kaffe Fassett anyone? But in the end it is about the person who will be using the quilt and you are the best judge of what he will want on it!

I can't wait to see what you do with the fabric, it is lovely!

I would stay away from the butterflies. Boys like butterflies outside when they are catching them and the colors on the material look a little femenine.
