I hope all the men will look at this and tell me. Of course, I can't really change it now can I? This one is for my Dad. He is 71 years young and made a comment on how he probably would never get one of my quilts. Yes, he played the guilt card on me. :roll: So my purple one goes to the back burner. Again.....

So this is September fabric by Moda. The colors are a little bright in this pic but it's so hard to get yellow right on the camera. I think I will border it in black when I get it all together.

It is going to be pretty. As for manly, it is fall leaves. Men rake leaves. Therefore leaves are manly!

I think the colors and the leaf pattern were excellent choices for a man. I know my husband would like something like that. And the black border would just be perfect to frame it all.
