I made my DH a Quick Trip Around the World. Well almost got it made. Borders and back will be camoflague. Top is blenders squares in green, tans/golds and black that complement the camo. I gave him the top with an IOU for Christmas. He was supposed to have a sewing cabinet built for me for Christmas. Neither were finished. He said the other night he figured he better work on my Christmas present so that I could finish his Christmas present. Haha!

what about a turning 20? I"m new to quilting so I don't know....I thought about making a turning 20 for my nephew who is going to college next year.

Disappearing 9 patch...IMO, frilly quilts come from frilly fabrics.

A couple of years ago I made Rich a quilt for his birthday. I used a pattern I found at http://quilterscache.com It is called Squares within Squares 2. It is a 12-inch block. Rich loves big cats so I used a tiger print for the center square and used green and black for the borders. He loved it!

My DH was into hunting, snow skiing, and still is into fishing. I made him a quilt that had a focus fabric of very young sweet buxem ladies lying about in a cabin and doing those sporting things. When I gave him the quilt, I told him. "these better be the only other ladies I ever see him wrapped up with!" LOL
He loves it to this day--and cuddles with it regularly!

TIA
