I want to make my grandson a quilt for his high school graduation with this fabric but I need a block or a quilt that is manly, if you know what I mean. I would like to maybe focus on red white & blue since he is going into the Coast Guard. I trust you all to have some great ideas, I've seen them! And I'm coming up blank.
Thanks a bunch.

Or you could just alternate a big square of the fabric with a four patch. I just did a quilt that way. It sure is easy and sure lets the focus fabric shine. (I am just throwing another idea at ya....I would probably go with a Warm Wishes.)
I used an 8 1/2 inch focus square with the four patches....which I cut in 4 1/2 inch strips on the quilt that is pictured... This is a pattern my husband really likes.

I think you will be pleased with Warm Wishes. You probably already know there are free patterns on the internet for 2 sizes of this pattern. Great choice of fabric. Hope you show us when you are finished.

I really appreciate the YBR suggestion. I have a strongly colored, but small scale floral that I've been trying to find a solution for,and I think that if I scale the blocks just right, the focus fabric will blend into the design nicely instead of sitting there in squares as in Warm Wishes. Sometimes the fabric needs to merge into others at the edges,and YBR would accomplish that. I didn't even think of it until I saw the suggestion here. Ha!

I have seen quilts made into the "Falling Charms" pattern. One was from Eagle (football team) fabric. You can go to youtube.com and Jenny Doan demonstrates the pattern. She uses 4 charm packs and slightly over 1 jelly roll of a solid fabric. It is quick and simple.
