Well, one thing is for sure, I'm getting through these backpacks really well. I know them off by heart now. Just finished number 6 yesterday. I had a few interruptions over the weekend, but finally got it done. This one is supposed to be for Cooper (10 years old), but I think it's too pale for him, so I might swap it over with Dana's. I don't know yet, I'll need to talk with Dana as she wanted a blue one, and this one is all Aqua. I think the darker blue one I made second in this series would suit a little boy better. I can always make another dark blue one with Aqua accents. I've got time!!! I actually made these in a 9x14 hoop. Love Chris

So pretty! I completely agree with you - this is a beautiful blue but, not as masculine as a darker blue would be. Let us know what you decide to do! I know so much work went into these - well done!! Hugs and Take good care of yourself!! Laura

Thanks Laura, I spoke with Dana today and asked if I can swap and she said that's fine, but I think I'll make another dark blue one with some aqua on it. Love Chris

Beautiful shade of aqua, but I agree, not very masculine.
If any one of them are not wanted, you could always send one up here to me!!! I love them all (especially the dk blue one!) LOL !

It is a beautiful colour, but you may be right about it being to light for a boy
maybe some darker panels and accent stitching may work. I'm sure you will work it out.

Thanks so much Deb, I've just finished all the sections for Chase's red and blue backpack. Tomorrow I'll have to make the lining. Then I will make Cohen (he's 5) in oranges etc.
Love Chris
