Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I made a broken dish pattern for my stepson - it's totally a man-quilt. It was originally a mini-quilt pattern (16" square), but I just enlarged it by making 6"finished HSTs instead of 1".Originally Posted by mimicrystal
I want to make a lap size quilt for my father for his birthday. I still consider myself to be a beginner. I've been quilting for about 18 mo. Do any of you have any suggestions for an easy and fast pattern that a male would like. I know he will love whatever I make for him just because I made it...Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

What are his favorite colors? Warm Wishes uses 4 colors, works up quick and can be made any size. Very attractive too! I'm enjoying putting one together right now!

I made my dad a John Deere quilt and I made a lady a music quilt. The music quilt could be for a man though. Here they are.

I did one called "Bricklayer" - just squares and rectangles so it goes together pretty quickly.
Thank you for sharing

cjomomma made a wonderful man quilt. I've already collected all the material to make one--for me! I love, love, love plaids and stripes. It is easy to do also. The first two links show the quilt in progress and the finished product.

My dad is a flannel and jeans type of guy. A couple years ago I made him this quilt using the Courthouse Steps pattern (in the Log Cabin Family). He loves it and it is very snuggly since it has mostly flannel materials in it.

I made my 85-year-old dad a memory quilt. Used fabrics that I collected from web sites and stores that featured his interests and jobs - fire fighting, farming, gardening, different sports, camping and RV's, foods, etc. Simple 8" squares and 4" x 8" rectangles. He loved it!!! Now, I "have to" make my mom one!
