Quilt for young man
#22
I did a quilt for my husband. Bought 3 fabrics that was motorcycles, steam engines, and airplanes. Did an alternating pattern of pinwheel and a solid block. All three fabrics had blue and red in them, so I bought a fabric that reads as a light solid that had blue, red, and mostly white for the contrast in the pinwheels.
If you can find fabric that reflects what his hobbies are, it would be a simple quilt to make that reflect his interests.

Hello, my husband and I were looking for a quilt pattern for his sister to make for us, and he came upon your post with the carpenters star quilt you made for a male with the blacks and browns and tan colors. We both think it is perfect for what we'd like to have made, but I have been unable to find any quilt block sets with these colors. Would you mind sharing whether you used a set of pre-cut quilt blocks, and if so where did you get it? Thanks so much!

A few years ago, I wanted to make a quilt for a great nephew who was graduating from HS, so I asked his mother what his favorite color was. "Gray" was his answer. Talk about dull! But I found all shades of gray and added a little blue and it turned out great. I used a pattern called Rail Fence Star from Missouri Star Quilt Co. He wrote me the sweetest thank you note, took it to college, and even sent me a picture of him on his dorm bed with it. So glad I made it!
