What a wonderful idea, MCH!!! I can imagine how much they cherish them!!! I think that's why picking a pattern, etc, is so nerve wracking for me, when it comes to my kids. I have 20 kids/spouses, & grand kids, to do quilts for, so the odds of them getting too many from me are slim. I want to just pour the love & caring into them! lol!!!!

I made one for my son that I thought he would like with his favorite colors and when he saw it he said that he wanted a colorful one. I told him to go to my closet full of completed quilts and pick one out. The one he picked was my favorite one and the quilt I least thought he would like. Cannot predict those men. Oh well, I gave it to him and I think his son will get the rejected quilt.

I believe any pattern can be adjust for a man: it depends on the colors....
.....The storm at sea is not an easy pattern but looks very nice too...
What ever you decide to do....Good luck

I think having him pick out at least one of the fabrics is a good way to start.

They do surprise one sometimes.

A logcabin, a sampler ,or bargello come to mind. The Underground Railroad quilt has some nice blocks. Just use homespuns or other manly colors.

Thanks, all of you!!! :D
I have three blocks done so far, of the Gentlemans Fancy. It's slow going though, all those pieces! lol!!!!!!

My sons like geometric patterns. As long as the fabrics don't have flowers or look "girly", the quilt will be masculine.

How about a log cabin quilt with browns, rusts, oranges and greens?
