I got camo fabric from Joann's. Made a simple square in a square adding some dark green and brown. Incorporated some of his hunting pictures and backed it with a brown fleece that had pine cones and branches on it. He loved it.

I have had a lot of fun with using camo fabric. Get one focus piece and combine it with complimentary patterns and colors. Anything nature works. I have also used small checks in complimentary colors as well as plaids.
The most fun has been using a Alexandra Henry "Camaflague Ladies" fabric in a quilt. Probably strictly adult.
It is the black sillioute of an unclothed lady sitting. You have probably seen it as a bumper sticker on a pickup.
You don't have to be fancy with the patterns. I have one version that it is just strips sewed together on the diagonal and then used what was left over from trimming for another quilt.
Oh well, I could go on and on.

Husbands Camo Throw Quilt
HI! This is a"Trip around the World" quilt...I'm a 'new' quilter, and had made for all my children(6)..then my husband began to cry ..everyone had a quilt but him! So, since I'm kept warm with hot flashes, he needs a little something to keep warm watching TV...I gathered all my pieces that resembled camo, camo colors..and made a 'Trip around the World' !!!

I took my DGS shopping w/me when he wanted a camo quilt. Instead of plain camo, he chose a woodsy scene w/cabins & bears. There was contrasting fabric w/lighter backgrounds and also one of a woodgrain print. I used those for borders and a pillow. I also used leftover fabrics to make large blocks and bright/hunters' orange letters to put his name on the wallhanging.
Camo has never been my favorite, but he loved it and we had a great time shopping together.
