LOve the music quilt as that definitely gives me ideas for another quilt. My partner loves music so may now have to start looking for more music fabric as already have some keyboard and vlack and white fabrics.

Thanks for posting this pic.

WAS YOUR FATHER A MECHANIC
THERE IS A PATTERN THAT LOOKS LIKE
A WRENCH
IS HE A CARPENTER? FIND PRINTED FABRIC
WITH CARPENTER TOOLS
IF NO HOBBIES TRY SIMPLY PLAID FABRIC
MAKE A PHOTO QUILT OF HIS FAVORITE VACATIONS.
HOBBIES - CARS WHAT EVER
EITHER WAY IF HE IS LIKE MY DAD HE WILL LOVE
IT BECAUSE YOU MADE IT.
HE WILL SHOW IT PROUDLY
HAVE FUN WITH IT

What's with this green, blue, brown? My husband just informed me yesterday that the bright yellow, dark green,and white quilt I am making is too pretty to give away. He wants it!

Yes, flying geese, log cabin. It's mostly avoiding using floral fabric. Plaids are always good too.

My son wants the Maroon and Black colors because he says its not girlie.

It's the colors that will make it break it when it comes to a man's quilt. To make it simple, I'd stay away from half-square triangles and keep to squares and rectangles.

I have been quilting since a yr ago last June. I recently made a "Jewel Box" quilt in earthtones for my DH and no one's going to get it away from him! LOL!! He loves it and uses it often (A/C)even though we live in sunny Florida. It's an Eleanor Burns quilt & you can find books & tutorials on her quiltinaday.com website.

Have you considered making a quilt with old men's ties....I have seen a great bow-tie pattern quilt made entirely from ties....just a suggestion.....

Find some fabric printed already, then fussy cut.

Log cabins are nice, so are shadow boxes
