I've made lap quilts for my mom and sisters, so my brother asked me to make him one. He said it needed to be bigger (he's a big guy), and he likes reds. Everything else was up to me, so I made him this Double Irish Chain with the seminole border. This pattern goes together pretty quickly and only uses three fabrics. I also backed it in the red.

Wonderful man's quilt! Lucky brother:)

Very Cool looking quilt. Manly. I love tan and red together. BrendaK

Very nice. It's sure to be loved.

Beautiful quilt! I love red! Your brother is one lucky guy :thumbup:

That's a nice quilt!! Good job

I'm not a red person but that is a very nice quilt. I know he will love it. Good Job

Sounds funny but that's a real macho quilt. Great choices.

It's gorgeous

Beautiful quilt and beautiful workmanship. Way to go.

Brother will love it!

It's so hard to come up with a man's quilt that's not plaid or about hunting --- I am going to steal your idea if that's OK by you.

Oh I love those colors. He's gonna love it.

:thumbup: :thumbup:

Beautiful...and what a compliment that your brother admire your work!

Very pretty. I really need to make one for my brother, too....

He's going to love it! I really like how you designed it. Usually the chains end at the sides in the diamond shapes. I love how you ended it with them so that the X shape is dominate. Great twist on an old favourite!

I love it, I like red for quilts.

he should love it, so pretty,

Beautiful! He's gonna love it for sure!

Ooooo, it’s beautiful and masculine! Your brother is going to love it.

Nice looking and manly.

Love that pattern. Great fabric choices. Lucky brother!

I really like the quilt. I have lots of men to quilt for so thanks for posting.

That's gorgeous Angie! I have been pondering how to use calico prints in a way that didn't scream feminine. You nailed it!

I really like it - it's beautiful!
