My son has a quilt that he loves. It is in the colors he chose, dark taupes and dark tan, made out of suede. It is very plain large blocks, SITD the maximum the batting would allow. The back side is a dark taupe shade of suede. Not only did he pick out the colors, he selected the fabric. I doubt if you would ever see that on a woman's bed. It matches his drapes, looks great with his dark cork floors and his furniture. The whole room looks like a room from Club Med or somewhere equally expensive. Very masculine.
