Like your idea of a variety of colors. Brights that match the colors in the black fabric and black sashing with piano key boarders would make a very striking quilt. I have 3 grandsons that play trumpet and one who plays trombone and piano.

orange or blue would work for me

The orange would work. However, I would be inclined to go for a black and white stripe or check. I feel it would look more funky for a boy. To my mind, a polka dot would look a bit feminine.

You could pick up that blue as well. This will be very nice when done. Thanks for sharing.

Yea, that pink is girlie, theres no way a boy would have pink in his room. I would go with solids, blue, green and purple.
Boy colors. I would make blocks using all three of these colors to add a lot of color and interest. I would also use children prints to piece the block. ericas.com has some great black and white fabrics with dogs, bugs,stars. And some really great black
and colored fabrics. :thumbup:

How about blue or green that is in the black fabric.

I would ask him what color he would like,

The yellow in the black fabric. Yellow and black are striking together, or since it is for a boy, maybe the blue.

Hi I would use the lime green in the quilt.....would be great for a boy and he would never out grow it and would pop your star

I got the pink at Joann's.
