When I need to make a "manly" quilt, I usually do a log cabin. If a light needs to be a floral, there's hardly any in it and doesn't appear to be femine. Just a thought.

My Proud Mary quilt has some floral prints in it and a Calico. But its not that noticeable OR maybe not that noticeable to me. But I work with a lot of floral prints when I make quilts anyway.

No, it's from a collection of wovens (can't remember the maker), but it was made from charm squares that they have. Since then, I've been looking at the shirts in my closet in a whole new way, though. :D
Yeah, I hear you. I do get shirts from the thrift stores and now I'm always eyeing everyones shirts, in line, walking by, etc.

Oh Oh, you better not carry scissors with you wherever you go.

MAN QUILTS ARE HARD FOR ME. I HAVE TO GET REALLY OUT OF MY BOX ( FLORALS ETC).

Eddie's "leather diamonds" quilt is a great design for color and pattern choice for the favorite men in our lives. I hope to copy it someday if he doesn't mind.
I have two sons and two grandsons (we have to import girls into the family!). I think it is harder to find most things for men: fabric, greeting cards, cute clothes for little boys, etc. The one exception is tools and automotive accessories!

I'm making a log cabin quilt for my son. I don't think it looks girly or maybe that's just me.
