    Default Do You Think This Could Be 'Guy' Enough?

    Hello - I would like to make a quilt for my nephew, and have been looking around for free patterns for a while. I ran across this one on a blog and wanted to see what you thought. He attends USC, so I thought I would stick mostly with Reds and Golds. What do you think?

    i definitely think it is masculine enough. looks like a lot of work to me, though, sewing in those narrow stripes.

    Yes, I think that if you add some other neutrals s/a black, tan, etc. along with the red and gold, it will make it a little more manly.

    I'm having the same problem with some shopping bags that I'm making for my son. If they're to frilly, he won't use them...at least not in public...LOL. I went with some neutral, necktie prints in black, grey, camel, etc. I plan to put bright red handles on them to jazz them up.

    Yes I think it would be a great manly quilt if done in the right colors.

    Stacked Stripes????????? Yep, depends on your choice of colors. And primary colors always work

    Oh definitely manly enough. I could see that made with shirting or even brights. put some browns or blacks in it.

    I agree with everyone else, that the colors will make or break it for him. Plaids in your color choices are always masculine, I think.
