Matt's quilt - did you make one?
 

I posted this picture of my son's flannel quilt. several people asked if they could use the pattern. Of course I said "sure" and now I would love to see if anyone did it and what it looks like.

this is just the top before i layered and tied..

Very nice, very masculine. Well done!

I like that a lot!

I never saw your post but I would love to make a quilt using that pattern. I am planning some full size flannel quilts because I want to try tying a quilt. Any tips for tying a quilt?

Love your quilt, I am crazy about Plaids, they make such nice manly quilts!!

That is just gorgeous and so masculine! Great contrast, interesting colors and a bit of zing with the plaids. And simple piecing. Wow. All elements working in harmony. Love it!

It's like the Warm Wishes pattern in a different layout. I like the browns and plaids together. I know your son loves it!

I love that quilt! The colors make me want to wrap up and snuggle

I have not but it sure is pretty!!!!!

Wow - that's gorgeous! I haven't, but I will!

I like this quilt!

Nice quilt.

This is a perfect guy quilt. Finally got colors from oldest DS and he likes camo and mossy oak for hunting. LOl!

Had to check this quilt out as my son is Matt, also. I love the simple yet dramatic design. It has a modern appeal with traditional warmth. Well done!

A great quilt for a boy.

I also didn't see this post before, could you tell me what size you made your blocks?

Haven't seen this before but would love the pattern. Have plaids and sure I have solids to go with it. I would love to make this for my son. Did you post the pattern?

My son is a Matt also.. and he would love that quilt. I didn't see your first post either.. which is crazy because I spent way too much time on here.. I'm going to go try to find it since you posted how you made your quilt there.. It is a very nice 'man' quilt.. and I'm looking for something to make today. Thanks for posting again.

I was gust wondering what to do with my flannel. great quilt

It is a great guy quilt and I think it's a striking quilt. Nice job.

Very nice guy quilt.

I didn't see the original post, but what a great pattern for a "guy quilt". I thank you for posting it, and my husband thanks you as well. He took one look at the photo and said: "I want one like that." So it will be a bit of time before I post that photo as I have to make it first! LOL! I know it's an awesome quilt because my husband is very hard to please, and has nixed most patterns I've shown him.

Here's the link to the original post for Matt's quilt:

Cutting instructions are in post #51. This is what she said: "Here are the measurements I used. The strips were 2 1/2" x 6 1/2 "" the squares 6 1/2 " The border is 10 ". This all with 1/4 " seam. I used 35 solid and 35 strip squares. It covers my double bed from the head to foot with a slight overhang on the sides.

I, too, love your quilt! It's going on my "After Christmas To-Do" list.

I have used embroidery floss, inexpensive acrylic yarn and crochet cotton through the years to tie. My preference is embroidery floss BUT other sites say not to use it since it frays....not my experience. Yarn ties get a little lumpy after a bunch of washings and crochet cotton doesn't look sturdy enough to me. I would suggest using fleece (on sale really cheap this time of year!) for backings so you don't have to use batting, just the top and the fleece. This will make it easier to tie and also, fleece doesn't shift or migrate so there are no rules about how close together you must tie it. I make all of my grandson's quilts with fleece backing!

I didn't make one but I sure do like yours....

I have it on my todo list. Love the pattern and colors.

would love to see what you make. I tie my quilts with craft thread. It is heavier than embroidery thread and comes in lots of colors. and if you want more info on the quilt pattern let me know. It's really easy. I made up as I went along. LOL

I use flannel sheets in my flannel quilts. doesn't shift like batting will.

I am in the process of making a camo quilt for my granson using this pattern. (with a few changes) A mossy green tree print with dk brown for blocks. green in middle brown on both sides. solid block the same dk brown. Found a khaki yellow for sashing between blocks to separate all the brown. will put a small border of same around all...then a wide camo green border. Have a fish pattern on the back. may have to piece it, not sure yet. had to carry bits of each fabric with me to find good matches. here is a pic of it all.

instructions are posted on this thread by another quilter from my original posting If you need any more info let me know. You can add to the borders as I am with my latest version, and also using sashing. Like I said, I make it up as I go. LOL please be sure and post a picture...

I can't wait to see your quilt done too this camo and forest should be really pretty.

I love your quilt the browns and plaids and I want to make a quilt for my son he's 43 and he drives truck. But I just haven't decided what kind of quilt I would like to do for him. Thank you for posting your Beautiful quilt and Thank You for letting us use your pattern.

teacher bailey, I am sleeping under a quilt tht was made about 35 years ago and tied with coats & clark crochet thread. Used it every night during cold months. Still looks great.

What a great man's quilt. Love the one you'll be making
for your grandson too! I might have to make one like that
for my grandson. Hugs, Sharon

That is very nice, i love the colors and flannel is soooo warm. thank u for sharing

Love your quilt!! I didn't ask for the pattern. But, I had to comment anyway!

That's a really nice looking "manly" quilt. I haven't made one yet, but you can bet I will! Thanks so much!!!
