Loteria Quilt
 

Sharing....Purchased the loteria fabric years ago struggled to decide on fabric colors to use as it is for my son. I kept it masculine and used colors that will blend with his couch. Suspect I played it too safe; regret not using more contrasting fabric colors but happy its done on time to give it to him for Fathers Day. He is an over the top terrific dad to his daughters.
Happy Quilting

A "Manly" quilt! Nicely done, I'm sure he'll love it.

So very nicely crafted!!

Super. BrendaK

Looks perfect for a Man. Great quilt.

Perfect present for your son. It looks like a fun quilt to make for him.

What a great quilt...my son walked by as I was looking at it...and now wants a quilt from that pattern...do you have a name of the pattern? Thanks...

I think it's great, and I'm sure he will love it....

Very nicely done. Masculine for sure.

I am sure he is going to love it! Even it you don't think is has enough contrast it has enough that each piece can stand on its own and each piece is not overwhelmed by the surrounding pieces. You have done a great job on this one a real 5 star! Thanks for sharing.

What a nice quilt! He will treasure it forever.

Nice manly quilt. Your Son will love it so much. Great workmanship and I think you have nice contrast in your fabrics

Well done!

Thank you. It’s a conversation piece for sure. Each block features a different lotería card. Each card is mega amusing. I have a couple of favorites. My son’s wife is learning Spanish so she is enjoying it.

My daughter gave me the best compliment, said it looks like a work of art.

I did not use a pattern just worked out one block and then repeated. As to the layout I wanted it wider so I added the dark rectangular blocks alternating location on each row.

The reverse has the same fabrics so the quilting stitches (ruler and fmq) stand out well.

Happy quilting!

very nicely done

I struggle to make quilts for men as I gravitate to light fabrics and flowers. Your quilt is wonderful and helped me see that I really do enjoy darker colors too! Fabulous quilt!

Great quilt. Have to admit that I had to google Loteria... never heard of it. How fun.

A great masculine quilt!

I didn't really know what that fabric was, thanks for inspiring me to look it up.
