Love it. And I suspect it's fairly fast------------once you master the curves.

Not going to spend a small fortune and time making a quilt and then him not really like it. So, after perusing the magazines he finally decided on the Labyrinth pattern.
Here is a link for some pics of quilts using this pattern: http://www.google.com/search?q=labyr...w=1024&bih=690
Long link...hope it works for you! If not, just google "labyrinth quilt pattern". Hope you can decide on one!

And I think I'd have had him pick fabrics. Lots of people can not picture a pattern in any other color than the one shown so they have no way to judge what they like.

My DH likes bright colours, so I found a precut pack of 2 1/2" strips, (wasn't a jellyroll), all jeweltone colours, patterned, but no flowers. 
I used a black border that really made the colours pop. He loves it!!!
Let us know what you end up doing!!

Everyone seemed to like Christian's quilt. I know he loves it. A lot of red and browns with a little black. It is a 10- minute square by Suzanne McNeill. Here is a short video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbTHlGGKMPM
