Actually, you're inspiring me to come upwith a bunch of designs for man-quilts that aren't all dark or solid. I'm a new quilter, so it'll be some time before I get to them, but ideas I got!
You're right, Lisanne, I think there are a lot of things we can do with man-quilts that are beyond just plaids, stripes, and solids. I plan to explore a lot of them. :)
