I recently made a charity quilt using camo. The charity, Quilts for Kids, stated that they had a need for quilts for older boys. So I bought some camo fabric, an autumn scene, and wildlife fabric (faces of wolves, moose, raccoon). I cut the fabric into large squares because I figured if a teenage boy liked camping, hunting, or fishing, he'd want to see good-sized scenes of the fabric, not little pieces. I used a handspun plaid (I think that's what it's called) for the backing and when I was done, I realized that the plaid reminded me of the fabric used on the inside of sleeping bags. Of course, it's been forty years since I was a Boy Scout and had a sleeping bag - I don't know what fabric is used nowadays. Here's a photo of it.

Oh, the quilt underneath was made by my wife.
