Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I'm wanting to make a lap quilt for my DD's boyfriend. He likes blue but everything I'm coming across seems feminine to me. I'm thinking about possibly a chevron pattern with blues and white. Any suggestions for specific blue fabric lines (it doesn't have to be all blues but can be a mix) that might fit the bill???
Here are two quilts I made for men in blues, browns and grays. I used a mix of fabrics from many different lines, and none of them were feminine looking at all. They're all prints, no solids. I think you just have to look.

A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
I love these. Could you tell us the pattern names?Here are two quilts I made for men in blues, browns and grays. I used a mix of fabrics from many different lines, and none of them were feminine looking at all. They're all prints, no solids. I think you just have to look.
Wow, loisf, I love your quilts.
I really, really like both of those!! That's the look that I'm going for. I was just hoping someone would have a line name to suggest. My stash is very small and I'm not good at picturing what would go together. Do you happen to remember any of the fabric names to give me a direction to head?
Susann, I've only got scraps left without the selvages in most cases. I used a lot of fat quarters that didn't have manufacturer's info on them. Some of the names are Suede by P&B Textiles, a Robert Kaufman fabric by the designer Jennifer Sampson, Andover Fabrics by a designer whose name ends in SSLER, a Hoffman Fabric with the name of Bliss Ble.... I'm so sorry I can't be of more help. I actually went to five different shops to find the fabrics I wanted. Sometimes you really have to work at it. The staff of the quilt shops can be very helpful (if you have quilt shops near your home). I wish I could help you. I love to pick out fabrics.
http://www.stonehengefabrics.com/ I would consider several of these masculine, most blender would be. http://www.hartsfabric.com/cotton-pr...n-fabrics.html Several of the Japanese sashiko indigo fabrics.

The Parson Gray fabric lines seem quite masculine to me. Fabric.com and Missouri Star Quilt Co. came up when I googled 'Parson Gray fabrics'. I'm not sure how much blue you'll find, but worth a look.
