I made one for a soldier after boot camp. Used warm wishes, but really played down the camo. Here's the thread:

Thanks for all the advise. She is 19, so who knows where this quilt will end up. LOL I know the boydriend will get it but so far we have no idea what it will look like. We will be off for more shopping today!!

1. What is a camo quilt? A regular quilt made out of camo fabric? I am assuming it will be the digital camo worn by the Army. I don't know yet, if she is up to mixing the different types of camo.
2. What is the simplest pattern for said quilt? She does not sew at all if I remember right.
3. I am not the best teacher in the world (it's easier to do it myself?).
Any suggestions??

The one I did for a customer was really simple...she sent me two sheets...one was camo (foresty trees, etc.), and one was a tan color. I quilted them with a bear, cabin & pine tree panto...came out really nice.
A good, really simple & forgiving pattern would be a rail fence.

It this is being made to a man in middle east, the fleece might be kind of warm, while it is cold in winter, summers are very hot and fleece would get dirty easier with sand also. Cotton would brush off easier, and they do not have gret washing facilities most of time.
