You guys are all great!!!
I looked up Storm at Sea, and looks like it has some paper piecing to it? I've never done it, and am wanting something fairly quick.
Barb, your quilt is beautiful! But I made a similar 'ribbon' quilt for my DDIL, and he'd probably think it was a girly pattern because of that. lol!!
Sewnsewer2, your quilt is really wonderful too!! I really love how you did it!!!
I've not done the D9p, and am not sure how hard that is. And I think the Mariners Compass is a bit beyond me..... lol!!!!
Ghostrider, I'm really liking your Gentlemans Fancy!! I went to quilters cache, and it's shown using more girly colors. Uncreative me wouldn't have thought how it could look with more manly colors! Thanks so much for posting the pictures of it!!
Prism99, I ought to make him pick out a pattern! He kind of backed away from even talking about it at all. I think he thinks it's weird as it's to be a birthday present, and here he is knowing about it. lol!!!!!
I think I'm leaning towards the Gentlemans Fancy. Now if I could get all of you to go and help pick out the fabric too..... :wink: lol!!!!!
I know I get totally wacked when making quilts for my kids. I think I put too much emotional significance into them.... Maybe my wackyness over making their quilts will spur them all on to get me EQ6 for Christmas!! lol!!!
Thanks so much, for all the ideas!!!! :D :D
