Here's a link for a picture of one that cjomomma made. She has a tutorial for it called "how to make the mans quilt"

Here's one I made for my son. It's the disappearing nine patch. I used flannel for the border.

Mine too. That will work great with my men's shirts.

That looks great too.

My vote is #'s 2 & 3

Does homespun bleed when washed? I had a plain I bought at Joanns, ( think it was homespun)and for some reason I decided to wash it and it bled on some white that was on something else and I had used a dye catcher cloth too.

squares and or rectangles. You don't need fancy as the plaids show off very well. Pictures shown are great for boy's quilts.

Very Pretty. Great idea as well to use up homespun fabrics to. Thanks for sharing!

How about an overall boy. Overalls made of denim and shirt of plaid. My DMIL done one for all her children for Christmas. We love ours. She has 9 children 3 girls 6 boys. Good luck.

I did a 9-patch and alternating hour glass bocks from plaids and it turned out really nice.
