TeriQuilter

Hello - I would like to make a quilt for my nephew, and have been looking around for free patterns for a while. I ran across this one on a blog and wanted to see what you thought. He attends USC, so I thought I would stick mostly with Reds and Golds. What do you think?

yes. I think so.

edited to say, neat site. So much color!

i definitely think it is masculine enough. looks like a lot of work to me, though, sewing in those narrow stripes.

Yes, I think that if you add some other neutrals s/a black, tan, etc. along with the red and gold, it will make it a little more manly.

I'm having the same problem with some shopping bags that I'm making for my son. If they're to frilly, he won't use them...at least not in public...LOL. I went with some neutral, necktie prints in black, grey, camel, etc. I plan to put bright red handles on them to jazz them up.

Yes I think it would be a great manly quilt if done in the right colors.

Stacked Stripes????????? Yep, depends on your choice of colors. And primary colors always work

This is good scrap buster!

Oh definitely manly enough. I could see that made with shirting or even brights. put some browns or blacks in it.

Yep! A good fit, I think.

I agree with everyone else, that the colors will make or break it for him. Plaids in your color choices are always masculine, I think.
