Here is the site of Donna Poster and her "foldy stuff" patterns

They were interesting to do and came out pretty good

This is really cool. Does this pattern have a specific name? I'd love to make this for my son.
Thanks

For the Men , I use bargello patterns. They do not come across to them as "girlie". I made one for my college graduating nephew. He loved it done in greens and blues.

My avatar is a bargello I made for my oldest son. My younger son also got one both in the masculine colors they chose.

Love this one! I have the twisted templates and have been wanting to make one of these, but haven't gotten around to doing one just yet. I love bright colors and this one is awesome!

Make a twister the big one. Use plaids. I did one in homespun's and my hubby liked it so muck he wanted iy enlarged for our king. You would think it would be slow but it wasn't went together fast and I didn't use layer cakes (haha never saw a homespun layer cake) like they suggested. Pick up a couple of manly cakes and poof even faster!

Tradewinds in rusts, greens(or blues) and cream.[ATTACH=CONFIG]360971[/ATTACH]. I only made two blocks in my son's quilt and I loved them. I'd like to do a whole one. He liked his sister's full size Carpenter Star, so he got a small one. The Tradewinds are in the center on the sides. The star is the lower center.

It is the last quilt on that blog entry. I am at work and can't really access home pictures

I like doing Fat Friday by All Washed Up for guys. It's quick and uses fat quarters, however, I love the fact that the leftovers make a Candy Bar Quilt! ...and that pattern is also included.
