so I wrote it down on a post it"

Didn't I tell you that Amy Sue loves boys? 

This pattern really is so versatile.  

For this quilt I used all sorts of boy fabrics.  

In my larger squares I used a piece that wasn't found anywhere else in the quilt top.  

I also quilted cross hatching that intersected through all of the larger squares so as to draw even more attention to these pieces.

Since this quilt is super busy I struggled with the right binding fabric.  

Ultimately I decided to use the cutest orange stripe.

I really love how it finished the quilt just right!

  

I have visions of using this pattern for an all solids quilt.  Or doing some really fun applique in the larger blocks.  Or even hourglass blocks would be so darling!  You could really switch out that larger block for just about anything your imagination can conjure up.

This Busy Boy Quilt is now available in my Etsy Store
