Sounds like the old explanation for the spelling of Frances and Francis. "i" for a guy and "e" for a girl.

What is his personality type? Super spare in decorating or more free-style. What are the colors of his favorite team, or whatever he really loves. What are his hobbies, his passions... There are SO many specialized fabrics/patterns around.
Does he garden, and more of a nurturer...or what (maybe like earthy colors)? Is he outgoing (maybe like primary colors). Is he an artistic person (maybe like tertiary or secondary colors). NEED MORE INFO...
Maybe what is his complexion, etc. because folks tend to like those colors which are most complimentary to their complexions. Fair hair & blue eyes might like blues or other "summer" colors, brunette with brown eyes might like "winter colors" or black/white or primary colors, redhead might like colors with yellow undertones, etc. What does he look his best is? I'd use those colors he looks his best while wearing. You know "his colorrs" which make him "look alive," maybe he would enjoy those.

Clem55, do you mean a quilt pattern for "the perfect man" (in which case no one would ever come up with a pattern for there is no such man existing to be able to use the quilt)!!!!!!!!! OR did you mean making a pattern for a "perfect man" (in which case you would become extremely wealthy for all of us would purchase it when it would finally hit the market)!!!!!!!!! :-D

I thought it was a pattern to make a man too! I think there are patterns for everything else! Let's see, warm and natural for his insides...

a B/W one is manly.

A while back I post a page "A little for my Crappie quilt would be nice". If you can find that page (I don't know how to add the link) but it shows what I used for my hubby and everyone of his friends as well as my brother now wants one. SO maybe you could use the same type of idea but change the crappie fishes to something he would like.
