Side note: recently my client asked me to sort out some baby clothes into "boy" and "gender neutral" and I pointed out that gender is subjective and asked her to give me specific directions.

I like them a lot. I think they are a great gender neutral fabric.
And I want that fabric. Where did you get it?
Drawstring Fabric Studio is a great shop near my house. No, really too near my house. She has a blog and an etsy store, too. (I don't think everything is always in the etsy store--but she can add something if you see something you like.)
Thanks everyone! Regarding the gender expression--L and I feel that if we get a boy who has been socialized into very traditional gender expression, we don't want him to come into the room and think "Oh, this is a girl's room." Part of making him feel at home right away. Hope that makes sense! If we stick with this fabric for curtains, I am going to try to get something else pretty "boy" to have on hand.

This totally makes sense. I agree that with other decor that's more "boy" it would definitely balance it all out.
