Boy baby blanket
#1
HELP! I need to whip out a baby blanket for a girl at work this weekend. Not a big deal - but I am having a really hard time with a good quick pattern. Any suggestions???
I think I am really stuck on this boy thing - I can pick girl fabric no problem - pink/flowers/pretty . . boys are all trucks and balls. . .any ideas??

Primary colors, red, blue, yellow, green make a great bright boys quilt. The 4 patch like the Quilt for Kids pattern is quick, easy, and looks great!

I have done a modified Rail fence up really quickly using the colors that erstan947 mentioned.
Three strips across (2 1/2" each)cut to 6 1/2" add one across the top of them (2 1/2" x 6 1/2") makes a 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" block. Alternate with a 6 1/2" by 8 1/2" square to make rows to the width you want.
Switch up the placement in each row, adding rows to reach the length you want.
Border with a 3 or 4" strip of a coordinate material and bind!

Boys, that's my specialty! Three sons. I'd suggest anything with animals, bugs, fish, vehicles, dinosaurs or cartoon characters. If you want to stay away from a specific theme, use solids in primary colors and toss in a little brown. Boys love brown.
Couple years ago I whipped out several baby quilts using 2 1/2 strips in a log cabin pattern. Cute, easy, fast.
