Your quilt is very nice and the crosshatching is also very nice for this quilt. It's what he wanted and he'll just love it for his truck.

What a guy quilt!!!! I mentioned putting rubber cement on my ruler in frustration awhile back...don't know if it was my post that you saw, but glad it works for you. Since I rubbed off the cement (it got too fuzzy after a couple of years) I am now trying adhesive-backed sandpaper dots that I got as a door prize during shop hop. They work very well! (And if you can't find them, some small squares of fine sandpaper glued on with rubber cement would work fine!)

My hubby would love it too!

WOW!!! It looks great! I have a lot of that same fabric to surprise my husband with his own quilt for Christmas! Hope mine looks half as nice as yours! ;)

You both did a great job and you are both happy. That's what it's all about! Loving your quilt(s).
I look forward to seeing the finished quilt with the pillow cases. :-)

I've made a couple of quilts that I did not like; but the person who wanted it, loved it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. BTW, I could see my brother or my son loving that quilt!

Wow!! I have a dear panel quilt I started for a dear friend. I like your design also. Here is a copy of my layout.

Beautiful quilt. Give the man credit for knowing what he wants. Mine loves the "geometric" designs with squares, triangles, etc. I think you did a great job. The one by UPNORTH is very pretty too. As are the others pictured. Working on panel quilts can be a bit difficult sometimes, (I know)......
Your DH is pretty nice too. Better keep him. :)
Thanks for sharing your nice work.
