I would just pick out scraps of 'man' colors, choose a scrappy pattern I like and make him a quilt.
Fortunately for me I make mostly Great Granddaughters quilts these days. We have three and one Great Grandson, his Mom doesn't like quilts, he only has one.
I have a Granddaughter in law that loves my quilts and will take any color and any pattern I give her or make her. So that is easy.
I am in the process of making a quilt for their queen size camper bed, I am hoping that is the last big one I make.
