I'd like to suggest a "Potato Chip Quilt"!! It is a very easy quilt & can be tied if the actual quilting is a problem. For a picture, check under SEARCH for Potato Chip Quilt by winter012. It's the red & blue one. I made one for my dad, who is 96 & he was thrilled with it. It works well with focus fabrics. The reason it's called a potato chip quilt is cause you can't make just one!!!! I'm just finishing my third one!!!! Would be happy to furnish the pattern.

Can I make a suggestion for a little different layout for Warm wishes? Check out http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-129054-4.htm at the very bottom of the page, in red and black. It is so easy to make - I have made about 4 in this particular layout - and it turns out gorgeous. C9P

My thoughts as well. Use masculine color fabrics and it should be a bit hit.

This is pretty or what about the 1600 quilt where you sew end to end a jelly roll pack then I think a black border or something manly to go with it and make it bigger or use a themed fabric for the back.

I have a turning 20 which you can have the deminsions of if you would like. you can make up to 30 square, with 30 different fat quarters or 15 half yards. I use 9 fabrics for baby quilts, 16 fabrics for lap and up to 25 for shower gifts. There are easy and fun. Let me know... Thanks,
