Sometimes our "guy" quilts are harder because they aren't made with fabrics we love. |

I agree. Put the dark red fabric in as sashing (or another more solid fabric) and you'll feel differently about it, I think. It is cool! I think you both will like it in the end. Good job!
That is what I was thinking too. You will be surprised how each block will stop the business. I think he will love it. The sashing will do it. Good Job! |
I agree use the red to beak it up it would give it a lift

I agree with the dark red sashing it would give it a lift and break up the fussyness

I have to say, I like it, I like it a lot! It's very unusual, it's bright, it's playful and made with love! What more can the man want. I'm sure you'll feel different when finished and I'm sure your husband will love it.

I like the idea of setting it in sections with a solid color, I think black would look nice. Good luck!

Thank you all for the wonderful assistance in my distress! I have ordered Kona black and more of the backing fabric (not enough with the sashing) and will post pictures when it is done. then I can stress about how to quilt it (I hand quilt or tie, but may be emboldened to try quilting on my machine...)! Thank you again - this board really rocks!
