I think this would make a perfect quilt for a male, even with the polka dots which I usually think of as feminine.
great job, thanks for sharing

Raksmum, The fabrics in my quilt, including the stripe were totally not something I would normally choose, but for some reason really caught my eye. I'm glad I choose to cut the stripe on the diagonal, even though it took more fabric.

I even taught my 8 yr. old DGD to use it with her own small blocks that she makes. It's SO easy. 8-)
Many have mentioned using the washable Elmers school glue stick...I hadn't realized you could use the white washable liquid glue as well! I almost donated about 10 bottles of it, left from school supply buying fever, when it was 25 cents a bottle last fall. I'm guessing you could get that tiny spout @ any pet supply store, medical supply, as well as farm & fleet type places. Seems like pet supply places would be cheaper than medical supply.
"We" need to make a list of great seasonal sewing supply deals; school supplies are typically August to October...some start as early as July. Love when they go clearance! Thanks a bunch!
