Thanks, he only wanted a "touch" of red. I can't wait to give it to him this afternoon.

This is great for a boy. I am sure he will love it. It seems so full of texture.

I really like the quilt & pillow case goes with it wonderfully.

Fabulous quilt, the red is perfect. It would be blah without the red. Or lime green. Someone put that in a quilt this past week's pics and it was great.

Great quilt!

He painted his room grey this summer, and wanted a grey quilt with just "a touch of red". It wasn't easy finding greys that didn't have flowers or feminine swirlies, so went with geometrics. The backing is flannel. The thing weighs a ton, but I am sure it will be warm. I have enough pieces left to make matching valances for his 2 windows.

I love it! I am a fan of grey and the touch of red always goes nicely with it. Love the pattern too. Congratulations on completing it.

That use of gray with red accents made a fabulous quilt... love it!

Kim Bohannon 01-05-2012 09:48 AM

that is really nice! there's just enough red to keep it from being boring, but not so much red that it's all you notice! great job!!!!

Oh my, it is gorgeous.

Beautifully done.

That is a very masculine quilt. He will treasure it, as it came from you. One lucky guy.

audsgirl 01-05-2012 07:05 PM

Fabulous! You have some terrific fabrics in there. A very good design and coloration for a guy.

weasier22 01-05-2012 07:55 PM

Lovely quilt! I really like how the red pops!

sassyg 01-06-2012 05:43 AM

I love the way you used the red.

grann of 6 01-06-2012 06:09 AM

I have been having trouble posting, so I hope this one goes through.

I gave DGS the quilt yesterday after school and he LOVED it! He wrapped it around himself and said, "Perfect!" Then he gave me a HUGE hug and a thank you. What can be better than that?!?!?!

javin22 01-06-2012 06:10 AM

I really like the bits of red. Nice Job!

ladypetite 01-06-2012 06:15 AM

Stunning! Very eye catching and rich looking. Hmmmm....have got to reconsider those colors in my next project.

GramaLaura 01-06-2012 06:45 AM

It looks like a work of art! I bet he will be thrilled to get it.

debs 01-06-2012 09:34 AM

Certainly isn't dreary even if it is grey!

Delta 01-06-2012 09:52 AM

fmhall2 01-06-2012 09:54 AM

That is really nice. I never would have thought of making an all grey quilt, with just a red sparkle, but I love it. It turned our so great. Congratulations.
