The black tuxedo with the brown shoes
 

A family friend asked for a quilt and when I asked him what colors he said blacks and brown. Then he said "Never mind, then I'll look like the guy in the black tuxedo with brown shoes." So this is what I made ;-)
He loved it!

Looks great. I like the transition of colors!

I love it! Great interpretation!.

Very clever of you and think he should be very pleased. It is very manly.

It is a beautiful quilt! Great job!

Wonderful job and the name says it all.

Fits the name perfect. Good job.

excellent......nice

I love it!! You did a great job. Every quilt does have a story!

It is so interesting to see how different quilts made from the same pattern make the quilt so different. Yes, it is perfect for a guy. You did the color graduation so perfectly !! I am certain he will treasure it for a very long time !! Cute name !!

That's really cool! Thanks for sharing.

What a great idea. Love it!!!

nicely done

You are a genius!

Great quilt!

Thank you all for your kind words. It was a lot of fun to put together :-)

Came out great!

Great job!!!!

Great idea.

I like that very much and I'm sure he will also.

Ingenious! It sure doesn't look like a guy in a tuxedo with brown shoes (which is why I keep a close eye on my husband before we go anywhere!)

Very nice. I love your sense of humor. :)

Wow, that is so cool !!!

So very clever!!!! Sometimes it just great to go with something that makes us happy just thinking about it.

Very nice transition.....

That is so very cool! I can see why he loved it. The polka dots at the bottom look like the shiny spots on shoes. Just very cool!

Cute story and quilt

awesome!..sounds like my husband. :)

Love the name and the quilt! Great job!

How fun!! You did a great job!

I love the transition of the quilt as well. I find quilts like that to be so eye catching. The black and brown work wonderfully together.

Nice quilt.

Very clever transition - great quilt.

Great job! The story is fun and the quilt fits it!

If he doesn't want it I do!

Aren't you the clever one. Fun for him and a giggle with everyone!

Beautiful!!! You did one terrific job!!!!

Beautiful job. I love it.

Oh that is sew cool love it, and you gave him exactly what he wanted. Great job!
