A friend asked me to make a quilt for her grandson's college dorm. She had no preferences as to color so I cose dark brown and shades of teal and made Magic Squares from Jenny Doan's tute. The top is not yet quilted but my DH took a look and pronounced it too girly for a young man. I was sure the color choices were fine and I stayed away from flowers and other delicate shapes. What do you think?
|
I like it and do not think it's girlish. I think the colors would brighten up a dorm room.
|
For what it's worth, I think it is perfectly fine for a boy. I don't see anything girly about it. The colors are definitely good for a boy. JMHO
|
What, exactly, is girly about it? I have a DS and a SIL and am betting either one would love a quilt like that.
|
My DH says you better ask the kid. He thought it was girly, too. I think its stunning. So far the women think its fine and the "boys" don't.
|
IMO, it's not at all girlie. It's REALLY beautiful (or should I say "handsome"?) :)
|
Beautiful non girl quilt! You did a great job. I'm sure the grandma will be very proud to give it to her grandson.
|
I am sure he will love it............ I think it looks just fine. Guys can like teal too.
|
My DH says its not girly at all!!!!!!
|
Yes, ask him. It does not look "girly" at all to me and "manly" colors have changed in the last several years, but HE is the one who will be using it.
|
I am a total tom boy so I think I can be an authority on this :)....not girly!
|
Not too girly, by the time he has all his treasures in the room it will all work perfectly.
|
I think it's great, definitely not too girlish.
|
Depends on the guy! I think guys are more picky than girls.
I like it and I think it would be fine for a man. Kirstne |
I think you made a great quilt. I would not give it to a girl. My son is about to turn 24. He has tats and rides a motorcycle. He went shopping for a shirt and tie to go out and came home with purple !!!!
|
I think its a perfect "guy" quilt! He is going to love it! Great job, good colors!
|
This girly thing is lame (sorry). If a man is confident in himself he could wear pink!
|
I think it's beautiful and should be fine in a boys dorm room. Do a modern sort of quilting, no flowery thing, and it should be wonderfully received.
|
I don't think it's too girly.. I think it might be too nice to sent to college..
|
My DH just said if the girls like it, her GS will be happy! I think it looks great!
|
What do men know.....
I think the colors scream male. I see nothing girlie here. If I were to give this to my GD...she would say thanks and we'd never see it again. |
I think its perfect, just because its not camo doesnt mean its not masculin. Manly quilts can be beautiful!!
|
It doesn't look girly to me. It looks modern and uptown. I like it a lot. I think a guy would like it.
|
Looks good to me. Boys where these colors dont they
|
Boy/man quilts can be so hard. I asked my DH and he said it was neutral.
|
I got my husband to look at it also.
He did not think teal was a girly colour. But I agree let the young man decide about the colours. We would not want him bullied because of the colour Teal. |
First of all, I want to say this is absolutely beautiful, but I agree with your husband.
|
I like it!!! I bet if you applique a couple a skull and cross bones or a motorcycle to it, it will suddenly be "boyish"
|
I love this color combination.
|
I think that the colors are just right The kids need something bright in those dreary dorm rooms. I made my daughters pillow cases Lime green!!
|
Well the DH is wrong any grandson that got a quilt from his grandmother even made by someone else would love this quilt. I say finish it and get it to the grandson he will charish it forever!!!
|
I think any young man would LOVE this quilt. But he's a younger generation, so he will look at everything differently than an older man. How about asking for an opinion from a young man around his age? That way its still a surprise, and you'll get a more accurate opinion from someone who's his age.
|
It's a wonderful quilt and not feminine at all.
|
I don't think it's girly...I think he will like it. Looks beautiful!
|
i don't think it comes off girlie and neither does my man....:-)
|
I like it a lot. I personally don't think it's "girly" but men and women do have different ideas on this so perhaps you could ask the young man if he likes it. (I wouldn't ask him if it's girly and put that idea in his head.)
|
I think it's perfect for a guy/ not girly! LOVE the colors and fabric choices!
|
Love the colors. Not girley at all.
|
I dont think it is girly , just a beautiful quilt . joyce j
|
I asked my husband and he thinks it is a "manly" quilt. I think it also has a masculine feel.
