Just awesome. I know a lot of deer hunters that would jump for joy for a quilt like this. Thanks for sharing.

I made one for a soldier after boot camp. Used warm wishes, but really played down the camo. Here's the thread:

Thanks for all the advise. She is 19, so who knows where this quilt will end up. LOL I know the boydriend will get it but so far we have no idea what it will look like. We will be off for more shopping today!!

1. What is a camo quilt? A regular quilt made out of camo fabric? I am assuming it will be the digital camo worn by the Army. I don't know yet, if she is up to mixing the different types of camo.

2. What is the simplest pattern for said quilt? She does not sew at all if I remember right.

3. I am not the best teacher in the world (it's easier to do it myself?).

Any suggestions??

I think camo quilts given to soldiers were to be made in a special way and be a certain size. Our quilt club made a few of them a few years ago - did a demo at the quilt show, but I was there so little of the time, I don't remember what she was doing. Before you make one, be sure to get the complete specifications.

I would do a camo 9 patch with large blocks. Yes, you are allowed to call her that, but nobody else had better!!!! I have an airhead DGD, as well, so I understand completely where you're coming from!

The one I did for a customer was really simple...she sent me two sheets...one was camo (foresty trees, etc.), and one was a tan color. I quilted them with a bear, cabin & pine tree panto...came out really nice.

A good, really simple & forgiving pattern would be a rail fence.

My granddaughter likes camo and I am making her a logcabin with camo.

Ta da!!!!!!
