I think its a very good combination. Can't wait to see it all put together.

Great manly choices.

Great colors! It will be a beautiful quilt!

ohhhh I can see a couple of blocks. a center fussy cut of the dear with the pine cones as star points and the brown to finish it off. I would also suggest maybe getting some hunter green fabric that matches. there could also be some larger blocks of just the deer with the pine cones and brown surrounding it. kinda like a mutated log cabin.

Nice colors!

annyroony2 11-06-2010 01:37 PM

Great colors. I need the pine cone fabric (LOL)! Should make your DH a great quilt.

ssnare 11-06-2010 01:39 PM

I think they go well together. I would definitely fussy cut square of the deer for the center block and then add to that with solid or pine cones. Then add more blocks of the deer.

SuziC 11-06-2010 01:39 PM

I like the idea of the deer print in the center and the others for borders. Or several deer blocks with the other used as sashing. can't wait to see what you end up doing

Pretty colors, nice manly fabrics. Try to find a pattern that will leave the deer fabric fairly large, put other fabrics around it.

I love your fabric choice. Great for a man quilt.

dgsmom 11-06-2010 01:54 PM

love the combo, looks great together. if you are looking for easy pattern maybe a pinwheel or nine patch. i have a magazine that had a deer quilt in it. if you would like it pm me and i can mail it to you monday.

Momofthree 11-06-2010 04:06 PM

NorBanaquilts 11-06-2010 04:07 PM

Good Choices!

pab58 11-06-2010 04:14 PM

Love those fabrics!!!! It is sure to make a wonderful quilt! :thumbup:

dunster 11-06-2010 04:23 PM

They look super together. I think it's harder to find a good pattern for just 3 fabrics than for more, but I agree that you could fussy cut the deer.

littlehud 11-06-2010 06:31 PM

Those are wonderful fabrics. Your DH is going to love that quilt. I can't wait to see it. Make sure a post a pic.

I think they look great together. But then I chose the same fabrics to make handkerchiefs for my Dad. I like the idea of fussy cutting the deer. Maybe they could be the centers of uneven 9-patches. Be sure to post your quilt when it's finished. Can't wait to see it.

tinkerfeet 11-06-2010 08:38 PM

I think those are great colors. I am sure he will love them.

deltadawn 11-06-2010 11:15 PM

Lovely choices

leiladylei54 11-06-2010 11:24 PM

I think they all work well together.

Murphy 11-08-2010 12:30 PM

A simple window quilt might be awesome.

OKLAHOMA PEACH 11-08-2010 12:34 PM

Fabric looks good together, my Son will be jealous. Keep us posted.
