Bonnie in Ok Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 What would use as an overall design. The quilt is for a boy. I thought perhaps an large and small swirl design from RnS board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 that would do well, or loops and stars, leaves and loops maybe by putting a funky star in the green and a spiral in the gold and purple blocks. I think I have the colors right. . It would depend on size of blocks of course! lol and your choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Swirls would be perfect on this one. Love the bright colors and I envy the piecers precision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenscratch Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 This one is free right now and it would be great on that quilt http://www.lisahcalle.com/shop/product/starlets-paper/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 This is a good boys quilt design. Plus is comes from Angela direct from APQS!!!! It is called Solar Flare. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK5egDLYX6k You could also use Lisa Calle's hooked feather design. She uses it on men's quilts. It is just a feather design with sharp edges. You could possible combine the two and work both Angela's Solar Flare design into to a feather spine, and then echo with the sharp points. Doodle it on paper, and come up with a new design all your own. Hide a design of his favorite sport in the quilt top at a few points, and he will love it.
