Here's a picture of a quilt for a customer that wanted bluejeans and homespuns for a gift for her son. What do you think? (note sarcasm)

I like it! Very masculine. Nice job!! :thumbup:

It sure looks warm and cozy to me! She is gonna love it!

I think this is one of the best jean quilts I have ever seen and yes it is very masculin.

Thanks for the compliments. I personally think it's a little on the ugly side.

Remember, the customer is always right. I personally like it and think my 20 something grandsons would like it also.

I decided long ago, that when it comes to handmade items, there is no such thing as "ugly"!! It may not be to my taste, but the dedication that it takes to produce a quilt makes it special, no matter what!
And actually...I like this one! :)

I think it's awesome for a guy.

I like it and even better for a guy :thumbup:

I like it and I agree it is perfect for a guy!!!!

Perfect for a guy, and I bet its SUPER WARM!

So creative. I wouldn't have had an idea of what to do with the fabrics. You did great. I believe her son will enjoy it very much.

It looks so warm & comfy & the recipient will love it. Is it very heavy (I bet it is). How hard was it to sew all the denim?

Some boy will love it! Gives me another idea for a rag quilt....

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I love this quilt, just my taste and style, everyone to their own Sylvia 77, I have enjoyed seeing this and thankyou for sharing, you made a beautiful quilt in my eyes!

My boys love denim quilts. They are HEAVY. I think I'll try this one. With 5 boys, I'm always looking for new ideas. At least they save me their jeans!

Personally I think it's a little drab, but if that's what she wanted, then I think it looks great.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.-----sorry, i see someone already said that.

The customer is always right and you gave her what she wanted. I'm just not too sure why she would waste your talents like that.

Not sure I want to comment on that one. not my cup of tea...

The young man will love it I'm sure.

Maybe if it had different color flannel it would be more alive! But I bet a guy would like it! LOL

Very nice.

Frankly, I'm with you on this one, but then, I have two teenage grandsons who could turn a silk purse into a sow's ear in a heartbeat, so maybe this is perfect for a teen boy's quilt. It won't show dirt and it should hold up to abuse.
You didn't say how old this woman's son is, so maybe his taste will be a bit more refined as he ages, and you can do one more fitted to your talents.

It is def. a guy quilt. Meaning masculine looking. And it does look warm. If the Customer is happy & thinks her Son will be happy with it, that is what counts. I'm sure it was made with a lot of love.

It's wonderful that we ALL have DIFFERENT tastes. Frankly, the world would be a drag if we all liked the same thing and thought the same way now wouldn't it?

I'm not trying to be mean and sorry this may sound that way but this was made for someone else who wanted it that way and will LOVE it that way. Let's be happy for them that they got something they wanted and will treasure.

(P.S. My 23 yr. old son picked a store bought "designer" name comforter that mirrors that look. Knowing his preferences I just can't imagine him with something different. He's happy and that's all that matters.)

Honestly, I meant no offense to anyone.

It wasn't too hard to sew as I used a denim needle and pressed all seams open. Also starching the homespuns cut down on the stretchiness. Quilting was hard though.

Great quilt for a guy! I can also see this quilt going fishing or to picnics.

I am slowly working on a crazy quilt for my DH, and think denim is so right for a guy, no matter what their age.

Looks good!

You know, I think it's cool. It's a guys quilt. I love the homespun with the denim. Perfect. You did a great job on it. I bet he loves it.

Well, she came & picked up the quilt and she liked it. Her son will be 50 on his birthday and she saved his jeans for 27 years! Thanks to all of you for your honesty and compliments. The quilt wasn't all that heavy considering.

I think it is great for a boy. Great job

Totally cool ...

It wold look cute in a bedroom with rustic furniture or a Western motif...

The woman who had me make this quilt did so only because her eyesight is so bad. She couldn't hardly see to sign the check she gave me, bless her heart. Maybe that's why she like it, she couldn't see it!

No, not worth it.

Quiltluvr, What do you mean it's not worth it?

Yuk!!

Looks like a perfect college dorm quilt for a guy!

I like it,you did a great job. thank you for sharing. God bless. Penny
