What are little boys made of?
Frogs and snails
And puppy-dogs’ tails,
That’s what little boys are made of.
What are wonderful little boys’ quilts made of?
Loads of kitchy little boy  fabrics!
That’s what a wonderful little boy quilt is made of.
Time to start planning our trip to DisneyLand and I need some cash!
This set has 181 six inch squares, just over 5 yards of fabric, and includes 73 out of prints (OOP)! Some of them pictured but still a 100+ squares not shown here.
Sock monkey, animals of all sorts, bicycles, Jay Carol, dots, stripes, trees…you name it.
Pair with a solid and that’s enough to make a lifetime supply of your own Half Square Triangle Quilts.
Some Heather Ross.
Pez, Peas and Carrots and Wee Play.
Some Alexander Henry Out of Print.  Two aviary, states, peace, what’s your number,  little scouts and some other’s I don’t know…
There’s some Alexander Henry in this lot of out of prints too.  I love Arvika, shells and the raindrops.  Some Uptown, Lush, Pearl Bracelet, Tree Rings and Amy Butler.
“Hello woodgrain, won’t you come back with the butterflies?”  But no, that would ruin the fun.
And it certainly wouldn’t be a little boy quilt without some robots and space themed fabrics.  I love the flannel Alexander Henry robots that have been reprinted on regular cotton.
But my favorites are the Japanese robot prints.
What about bird overload?  You could do a quilt with just these.
Some Japanese animals…
And Fairy Tales.
What else?
Some out of prints up there too.  Dot motifs lend themselves to boys so well, and how about the holidays?
Here’s all the flannels.
And there about about 100 more squares!  Come on, you know you need a holiday project and that little boys need quilts.  Go take a peek.
I’ll be busting out a girl pack too.  Just need to give my back a break from the pain of cutting.

    hi katie

    the fabric is great. please let me know whenever you are planning to sell sth. again – girls or “gender neutral”, i don’t care.

    i just recently started to quilt and therefore have a good excuse to start “collecting” fabric.

    kind regards from germany – anja

    p.s.: in the meantime, i’ll follow your auction.
    p.p.s.: LOVE your blog

    I’ll be watching this ebay auction – would love to have this for my stash for the commissioned baby quilts I make constantly! Putting post-it on computer screen right this second so I don’t miss it.

    I loooove how you seem to find the best uses for gray. I never would have put gray in a quilt until I saw how absolutely beautiful it looks in yours. I think ill have to try it in my next quilt. Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
