I was thinking this too. If you embellished the top of the seam, either with crewel thread or lace (does he want lace?), it would cover those seams... but actually it is a great idea to make a crazy quilt.. for a guy. I'd never guess a man would want one, but I have a whole bunch of shirt leftovers.
