Boy Quilts....and Girl's too

My son is an AF pilot so the first little guy got an airplane quilt: Pattern Flight #159 from Country Threads, all in reds and blues. The second little boy is getting a diggers and dump trucks quilt called Construction Zone by Quiltmaker (quiltmaker.com). I added one square of my own design to this with an Overall Sam in hard hat and construction overalls pushing a wheelbarrow. Other ideas: anything with Frogs: Over by the Pond also by Quiltmaker or turtles: Turtle Travels by City Stitcher PO Box 41322 Dayton OH 45441-0322. Check the web and also Keepsake Quilting for any of these patterns. The airplane one was pieced and the rest are paper pieced. The turtle one I even made for a girl grandchild. It is really cute. The digger one was advertized in one of the Quilt magazines also.

I also have four grand girls who got Sunbonnet Sue, Butterflies and coordinating nine patches for the two that share a room, one with pink overtones and one with green - same fabric as background just in the different colors.

There is a seventh on the way but they all get generic crib quilts and it is their "BIG KID Bed" quilt that is more gender specific.
