Nice quilt and it looks masculine. A darker border will be just right.

dphelps 12-27-2010 08:44 AM

I think it is perfect ... for ANYONE. I also think the dark border then the striped would look best. Nice job.

tatavw01 12-27-2010 08:59 AM

great!!!!

patriciaponder 12-27-2010 12:08 PM

Looks wonderful! What size squares did you use?

Jim 12-27-2010 12:17 PM

I love the colors and the pattern I too would go with the darker color then the stripes..and from another guy its awesome

malega 12-27-2010 12:50 PM

I just love the colours, that looks great.

Drew 12-27-2010 03:53 PM

Love the colors and pattern. I, agree, black strip border then stripes.

luckylindy333 12-27-2010 03:58 PM

I am very fond of a narrow, dark border 1-1/2 or 2 inches, before the main border. I think it really sets off the border from the quilt. Your quilt is very pretty, thanks for sharing.

That's absolutely stunning! Great job! :D

Nice colors for a guy.

Your quilt is beautiful. Love the colors!

moonwolf47 12-27-2010 05:16 PM

WOW love your fabric choices! Yes, agree that a darker border then the stripe one would look great on it. Great job!

cindygale 12-27-2010 05:39 PM

shopbelt 12-27-2010 05:45 PM

Absolutely LOVE it! My favorite color combination.

wraez 12-27-2010 06:12 PM

Red/black/white quilts are great and wonderful for a man... or for me.

I've been wanting to do one like this too, you are pushing me into it, LOL.

That is a nice looking male quilt.

Latrinka 12-27-2010 06:41 PM

Awe, it's gorgeous, fine for a guy! I do think a small black border before the striped would look good, it would frame it.

piepatch 12-27-2010 06:47 PM

Great quilt for a guy. I agree with the dark border first then the stripe.

I used 4 1/2.

smiles 12-27-2010 07:00 PM

He'll love it, I agree with the darker boader & then see if you still want to use the stripe boarder.

valpoquilter 12-27-2010 07:02 PM

Love the bold, in-charge colors of black and red and the pattern. I also agree with the others on a solid before the stripe. I would use black.

tutty 12-27-2010 07:19 PM

Very nice i would hope he will !!!! Think the black border then the stripe ?! pic when done please

dixiechunk 12-27-2010 07:20 PM

It's beautiful, just beautiful and I don't think you can do better than red/white/black for a man. Me thinks a solid or reads-as-solid black inner border (small, maybe an inch) would be perfect.

nonnie60 12-27-2010 07:20 PM

Fantasic. Either a solid deep red or black then the strip.

Harmony 12-27-2010 07:37 PM

You can't go wrong with these colors! What a lucky friend--he's going to love it!

Leann 12-27-2010 07:39 PM

WOW! Gorgeous colors. He will love it, if you can bear to give it away.

Love the colors, and a black border will frame the interior and stop the eye before the striped border.

Quiltylady 12-27-2010 08:20 PM

I think any guy would love it. Nice job.

zzzGP 12-27-2010 08:42 PM

Well, I'm a guy and I love it and I believe he will also! Awesome...

M.I.Late 12-27-2010 08:45 PM

Might want to make that stripe wider since binding will take away some of it... but definitely dark first. Really nice!

BettyB 12-27-2010 09:49 PM

Beautiful, love the colors

hperttula123 12-27-2010 09:52 PM

that is awesome!!! I'm sure he will love it!

rona thickpenny 12-28-2010 12:49 AM

yes dark border first . he will love it .

gypsylady5 12-28-2010 03:29 AM

Love your choices. A dark border and then a wider stripe would be great and put a nice finish to the quilt. Nice work.

Totally agree! BTW I love it already!

Tweety2911 12-28-2010 05:52 AM

I love it and so will he. The fabric choices give great contrast and very interesting to the eye. Beautiful!

rosemaynes 12-28-2010 06:35 AM

i love it and I love the colors.

phatquilts 12-28-2010 07:08 AM

Handsome quilt and a great variety of fabrics.

twinkie 12-28-2010 11:34 AM

I love the colors. BTW, After being apart for 45 years, I married my first love (5 years ago) and had our prom picture on our reception table. And, it has been GOD's blessing in my life. Never been happier. Your quilt is beautiful.
