Yes. The school colors will make it perfect!

Sorry, but I showed that to my hubby and 11 year old son. I asked if that looked manly for a college guy? They shook their heads adamantly and said, "No." Too bright. We have 2 sons also in their 20s. They prefer black, grey, tan, blue, sage green palettes.

I think it will be just fine. The look you get will totally depend on the fabrics and colors you choose, so it could easily be "manly" enough. It looks like a really fun method too!

Looks great....

Please oh please post a picture when done!

Love it! That site is really interesting, thanks for the url.

It all depends on they guy and .... well you know the guy. Follow your instincts.

You bet....and it looks like a fun project also.

Actually, many quilt patterns can be "guy" quilts, it just depends on the colors and fabric. The one you've chosen will definitely work.

I agree with lynnie or JustAbitCrazy about shirting or plaids working well, but even just muted dark colors or woodland type prints would work. Is it a bed quilt or a throw? Flannels would be good as well.

I think it's a great quilt pattern.
