Calling all quilters

HeddarcHeddarc
in April 2012 Moms

I'm looking at quilting patterns, I'm waiting for the A/S to confirm before I start. Here's 1 pattern that I found that I like but I'm not sure if it's too feminine for a boy, please let me know what you think.  Anyone else sewing for their LO?

    Cute! I don't think it's too feminine. You could even replace the hearts with triangles or something different if you think it is feminine. I'll be making mine a quilt too after the a/s. I'm looking forward to it! I'm sure I'll also make a bunch of bibs and burp cloths.

    I don't think it is too feminine, esp since you control the color palate. I'm not quilting for the baby, but I do have a bunch of Suess fabric to make a blanket for my son, just need to find the time and energy and motivation to do it. It will be for his big boy bed though, and I want to make 2 of them since we have two twin beds in the room that will be his, so I have some time still. I sewed a bunch of newborn stuff for my son, in addition to all his cloth diapers. I also knit, and will be knitting up a storm once I find out gender (esp if it is a girl).

    Definitely not too feminine. I haven't quilted in years, but I'll be crocheting a blanket. My mom quilts and is excited to make one for the baby.

    I'm making a quilt for LO as well.

     

    Very cute, I think that would be totally fine for a boy!! Happy quilting!

    I bought this pattern https://www.ohfransson.bigcartel.com/product/more-simple-modern-baby-quilts-modern-patchwork-pdf-pattern off etsy a while ago and made it as my first attempt at quilting.   It might be too easy for you but I found it to be great and very easy to adapt for boys / girls.  The Pattern also includes adorable appliques.  My niece loves hers.

    Do-Jo, that's a great pattern, you can do so much with a simple pattern with just the right fabrics.  Here is the last quilt I did, it was quite ambitious, the front was over 600 swatches of fabrics.  I'd have to say I'm in love with Country French colors.

    I totally really the thread title as 'calling all quiTTers' and just had to check it out.  Quilts makes much more sense.

    I totally read this is "quitters" and I was confused.  LOL

    I want to begin learning to quilt!  I just got my first sewing machine for my birthday in April and I love it :)
