Seeing your room color... batik fabric is what comes to my mind.
Plan on making one of these very soon.

How about a Hunters Star. I just can't bring myself to be limited by precuts, sorry. Since the room is so green, I wouldn't want to use to much more of that color in a quilt except as an accent color. But a gold or beige tone on tone w/a bit of green in it would be lovely. I also like Triple Irish Chain which could be done w/ strips. Another way to go would be a patterned scrappy quilt to add lots of color that DH likes. This could be very pretty also.

What ever you choose be sure to post it!

EDIT: The Jacobs Ladder in bright scrappy style idea would be my favorite choice for this room.

What other colors does he like?

I would want the quilt to be lighter/brighter than these walls.

So you could find varying lighter tones of the same green or add tans or taupes and cream.
Maybe add some rust, orange, brick red for the bright accents.

I'm learning that I need more lights and brights in mine. I love the deep, rich colors but without the lighter, brighter to go with them, they don't have good contrast and end up almost depressing. (Or I put only brights and need sunglasses. Lol. !)

I made this quilt for our man cave from 20 batik fat quarters. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...sy-t75757.html


I purchased Elisa's Backporch Crazy Curves 7" template. The quilt pattern is included with the template.

Elisa has video tutorials for cutting the fat quarters and sewing the curves. I prefer sewing the curves with no pins. It really is as easy as it looks on the tutorial.

I think the quilt goes together so quickly because the blocks are big and consist of only 2 pieces.

i've always liked the bear paw pattern - very masculine.

This thread has been very timely for me. At the end of winter, when flannels were on big time sale, I collected for a lap quilt for hubby and also got scraps from a friend. I'm taking it to a retreat this next weekend. I like Jacobs Ladder, mega sized or Turning Twenty (+45 ish). I have green and reds to match our living room and I think I'll throw in some purple (an excuse for shopping).

So thanks for the ideas, it's double duty, cause I can use this too.
