I made my DH a Quillow---used Harley scarf in the center and red/black starry blocks. So when he isn't napping it's folded neatly and looks fine on the den couch.
BTW, he's always been a big Harley fan/owner.
Happy quilting, Kutnso

After relating the sad stories I read here about gift quilts, my husband gave his consent to share that he loved his quilts. A couple are double fleece with different battings, high loft and insulbrite that he uses in the truck when camping. Another couple are double fleece with high loft that are his nappers. I'm working on a lighter one with his coffee designs on it, but I don't know if I'll be able to move his fleece quilt to my sofa. May have to make one for me.

My DH totally loves his! He snuggles on the couch with it and our two "little angel-drops from heaven" LOL

"Angel drops from heaven". I love that.

Pat is so happy with his tumbling blocks. After all he picked the fabric and the pattern. He uses it when he sleeps on the couch (NO - not banished - just his choice at times)

When I first started quilting my Hubby wanted and asked for a Star Quilt, it was my second quilt so using Eleanor Burns' "Quilt in a Day Radiant Star" (not in a day for me...lol) that is what I made him. He wanted it for the camper, and that was 4 years ago. Since, I have all sizes of quilts all over now and not only hubby but my sons when it's cool this time of year they all grab something to snuggle under in.

I thought the same thing. Until I made him one he uses it all the time while watchin tv and when he isnt using it our 20 year old cat is. But he says it reminds him of his blanky when he was a kid. Mind you he is 57 now.. Go ahead and make him one I'll bet he will just love it to pieces.

My husband has a lap quilt that he uses in winter while watching TV. I have one too.

I didn't read all of the responses (but will!). My husband likes different colors than I do, so I make some in "his" colors to use on our bed.

Also, at some point he will be gone for a year with the company he works for, and I like to think he will have the things I make him as a comfort. :)

My DH uses his as a napper blankie, and a TV cover up when its cool in here. He loves his.

Oh my - if my hubby took a quilt hunting, it would come back torn, bloodied up. He'd probably think it was a great thing on which to drag an elk or deer out of the woods over the snow & debris on the trail. The places my guys (hubby & 3 grown sons) hunt require lots of footwork up & down mountains to bring game even to where the horses can pack out the meat.
No thanks - the quilts stay home - I'll pick up an old blanket at thrift shop & wash it for hunting use.

My hubby always covers up with something when he watches tv. Most men eat munches and drink soda when they watch tv. Well many quilts and blankets have been stained,when he jumps up to root on his favorite team. So I made him a quilt all in dark colors and it has saved the day. Even if he spills his soda,you cannot see the stains. I have washed it numerous times......it looks a little worn but it gives it charm. When I gave it to him.....he said' what is this for" and I said" I made it for you so you can keep warm while watching tv". This look came over his facewas priceless when he realized the hours it took as he saw me working on it but he didn't know it was for him. He could not believe that I did that for him. It blessed my heart.

My hubby asked me to make him a simple quilt for his car. With the snow and cold we get he wants it to keep warm if the car brakes down. I have one in my car to.

My late husband slept under his. He had COPD and had to use an ozygen accumulator that was so noisy, as if his snoring wasn't but thas for another day. He decided to move into a guest room to spare me.I would gladly put up with both noises but he didn't want it for me.

My DH loves his lap quilt and supports my craft 100%. He is my best fan and would love another one...too busy trying to get UFO's done Lol.

My husband uses his when he takes his nap after playing golf -

I just love your avatar!

My husband had his TV corner in our family room and he liked the quilt when he got chilled. He said, it is cozy and is nice and warm. I figure with all the quilts I have made he deserved one.

My husband has a "listening room" where he listens to his music on his high end audio equipment, so I made him a "Turning Twenty" quilt which he uses to keep warm in the front room when he more than occasionally naps in there.

I keep the house pretty cool, 60 degrees, because of hot flashes so my poor husband freezes to death. He wears a hooded sweatshirt in the evening with the hood up. lol, and snuggles under a quilt while he watches TV.

The quilt is Buggy Wheels.

I find all these responses to my question interesting. I'm still pondering what my hubby would do with one. He doesn't watch TV much and is often doing some type of work or laying in bed when he's watching TV. He's not a hunter. We don't need blankets in our vehicles in the South. He has a cabinet shop and that's no place for quilted wall hangings. Shucks, I'm not sure I have an excuse to make him one, but maybe one day I will do it anyway. By the way, some asked about the quilt in my avitar...it's Buggy Wheels, designed by the gals at Buggy Barn.

Mine has several he takes when he goes hunting & has ask me to make some for his friends. They have deer or pheasants or fish. They all love them.

I guess I should have said the quilts have the deer, pheasant, or fish on them.

I have made 2 for my hubby. He loves them too and uses one of them every day. He is a napper and has to have his blanky. He is also a great supporter of my quilting and loves seeing all the things I make.

They're on the couch, the bed or with him when he travels (military). He shows them off to people and tells me people think I'm talented (which is bunk and embarrasses me to no end).

Now, not every man is going to treasure a homemade gift but when they do... it's outstanding. Give it a go.

My SIL with his that he was thrilled with to get for Christmas

My DH went into the LQS with me last week. While I was talking he came up to me and said that they had a civil war quilt hanging up.
He is a civil war buff and has been collecting since he was a child. Do you think he is trying to tell me something?

My grown son latched on to my 1st big quilt. Once the weather cools he is never without it. On the bed, napping on the couch or on the floor with the dogs.
My husband loves a lap quilt to use at night while watching tv.

My husband went to our LQS and helped me choose the fabric for "his" quilt. It will feature a panel with a jaguar. As soon as I get some of it sewn together, I'll post some pics. He's patiently waiting for it so I better get going.

I made a quilt for my husband and you would have thought it was gold. He has a picture of it and many of the other ones I've made on his cell and shows them off. cool I say!

being the husband...I love my quilts...my wife and I have about 10 lap quilts that we all use...the grands use them everyday to nap or build tents or just drag around...when they nap..we get a nap too so they are always handy. We only have 3 of our own larger quilts that we made and kept( for now....our daughter keeps trying to get them, She probably has 30 of them). So make your DH a quilt..I think you will be pleasantly surprised at his reaction

I have been married to my husband for 32 years and I have never seen him take a nap on the couch(we do have one)When he wants to take a nap he gets by into to his pj's and in the bed with the electric blanket on 365 days a year. I asked him about a quilt and he said don't bother I would not use it anyway. He doesn't care for my sewing even though he fixed my room. I believe it was to get me out of his way.

My husband was very touched when I surprised him with a nap blanket. I did an outdoor theme with eagles, fish, pine trees, etc. Try giving him one as a surprise and just watch his expression! Priceless.

the only one I made for my husband I made back in the 90's when I first learned to quilt. We're a Navy family, at the time he deployed on submarines quite frequently (gone most of the years back then) so I made him a rack sized quilt so he could have it underway. He's done with deployments now and I doubt I would make him one again just to have around the house but who knows....maybe!

my husband loves cuddling up on the couch in his when it gets cold

My quilts for DH have been phote quilts. When he turned 60 I put photos of all the grand kids (9) on a wall hanging and one with his his birth certificate, photos of his folkd and photos of his when he was young.
For his 70th I repeated grand kids (smaller photos) and great grand kids (19 in all). they hand in our hall way and I frequently find him just standing and looking at the photos. Makes my heart sing.

I made a scrappy bullseye for my dh and he takes it everywhere we go, it has soft n natural batting so it is real soft and comfy. When we travel it goes with us and he uses it in the motel room. He keeps it on the ottoman by his favorite chair. He just loves it like a security blanket, I have offered to make him a new one and he doesn't want one.

my hubbie has dug out all of his t-shirts and wants me to make a quilt for him. he now goes w/ me to quilt shops and gets his own fabric for me to make ---I wish he would learn, dang maybe not we'd be broke
