Ditto on the log cabin, Ihave made 1 for 21 yer old grandson, and working on another for son. I used denim and old mens shirts.:)

What are his favorite colors? Warm Wishes uses 4 colors, works up quick and can be made any size. Very attractive too! I'm enjoying putting one together right now!

Thank you for sharing |
cjomomma made a wonderful man quilt. I've already collected all the material to make one--for me! I love, love, love plaids and stripes. It is easy to do also. The first two links show the quilt in progress and the finished product.

My dad is a flannel and jeans type of guy. A couple years ago I made him this quilt using the Courthouse Steps pattern (in the Log Cabin Family). He loves it and it is very snuggly since it has mostly flannel materials in it.

I made my 85-year-old dad a memory quilt. Used fabrics that I collected from web sites and stores that featured his interests and jobs - fire fighting, farming, gardening, different sports, camping and RV's, foods, etc. Simple 8" squares and 4" x 8" rectangles. He loved it!!! Now, I "have to" make my mom one!
