I made one for my husband in the "french braid" style using navy & gold - looks good!

i made the quilt in my avatar for my nephew. the colors are a bit bright for a grown man but the bear paw pattern is easy and rather manly. i made my own panel with a bear & tree applique.
i'm working on DH quilt now. green & brown batiks. link to pattern, scroll down to Magic Squares.

How about the "Out of the Box" that just a few days ago someone here posted. Its awesome, looks 3D.
I think it would make a great mans quilt.

I just finished a french braid for my 23 year old son. I did it all in green. He likes it but now to get it quilted right.

Yes,my reaction was lay him on some wide muslin & trace around him. Then crazy quilt the whole guy . A great gift for a bachelorette! Or a divorce survivor!! There are those hunky guy fabrics now. My college girls loved them as pillows. Off topic, sorry... creative brain will ramble!

any block would be fine, in my humble opinion if just use non flowery material.

reminded me of this picture of a quilt I saw somewhere and thought it was great! Not sure if this is what you had in mind :wink:

That's really cute!

Does he have any interests or hobbies? I made my hubby a quilt with "Link" on it from a Legend of Zelda video game.

This was taken before I finished piecing and before I started quilting, but you get the idea
