I think Civil War repros are awesome for mens quilts! They are just the right colors, but they can be enjoyed by anyone!

Agreed!

Anytime I get stuck on color and wanting help with combinations, I just start searching online and get ideas from other's projects. I've seen color combinations I never would have chosen that are perfect! There is a never ending supply of ideas out there, just go looking! PS....this board is the best place to start! Do a search on double wedding ring and you'll have a lot of results showing the very talented work of this board's members.

first thought of mine is use batiks in golds rusts and sagey minty greens. you could also take him to the fabric store and tell him to help you pick out some fabric for a lap quilt. this will give you an idea of the colors he is "pulled" towards. that would help you know what colors and textures to use.

What an awesome idea! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup:

Is it supposed to be a surprise? Maybe he could help with picking out the fabrics?

If you go to Kaye Woods site & click on TV shows, she has a video that shows How to do a Double Wedding Ring without all the small pieces being put together for the rings & also shows how to quilt it as you go & once the blocks are together it is complete front & back. It is awesome how it is done & goes together really fast.

That one is really nice. :thumbup: Does he wear any particular colors more than others? Maybe that would give you some idea of what colors to use. ;)

Thanks so much Halo. I'll check it out now and quilt as you go sounds perfect for this project. I need a fast project.
