My wife and I made double sized quilts for each of our 2 young grandsons. We used camo fabric with a log cabin pattern. Our son said he was jealous and wanted a camo quilt too, but he didn't want any pink camo. So we agreed to make him a California King with camo. I have a panel with a bear that we'll put in the center and then camo log cabin blocks around the panel. We have some camo jelly rolls we'll use for those. We found a small piece of pink camo that we'll work into the quilt just because he said to not use pink!
I like the way you think!
The quilt I'm going to make for myself is going to be made from old plaid flannel shirts I've been buying at thrift stores with a nuetral background-either solid grey or tan flannel- and I'm going to use a Single Irish Chain pattern for the blocks.
