Flannels make great mens quilts. They are usually darker colors. With woodsy or outdoor/wildlife prints. Be sure to buy good quality or the flannel will ravel and loose its shape easily.
A simple "mans" pattern works well with the flannel as well.

It can be. I've made 3 quilts for "me", so I wanted them to be somewhat "Manly". Below are pics of them. I think they're not so much "manly" as they're not "girly", if that makes any sense.[/quote]
Eddie, Your first quilt looks like it may have been made with recycled men's shirts. Was it?
