Very nice! I saw a quilt with a large pocket on the back to tuck your feet into so they would stay covered.

If he doesn't love it, there are lots of hubs here who would love it!

Very pretty. Since your husband was involved in the design process, he should be thrilled with it.

that's so amazing! i love the way the pieces came out. he picked some really great colors and fabrics! great job to both of you! :) and i love that you used wool batting. i can't wait to make my first quilt with that. i'm a novice, and i haven't yet had the privilege to use wool. but i love it in everything else! :) anyway, point is you did a really fabulous job. it's lovely (in the manliest sort of way)! :)

Go ahead and try a wool batt. It quilts like butter, and I use it for all my "grown up" quilts. It has such a lovely texture, and you can wash and dry it, or at least I do with mine.

Very "manly!" Love the color combination.

Your quilt is wonderful - love the pattern and the colors.

I think this quilt is an example that "manly" quilts are more a manner of appropriate selection of fabrics than the quilt pattern itself.

Beautiful fabrics and pattern! Do you know the fabric line and manufacturer? My husband would love this! Thanks!

The brown and blue are luscious fabrics made in Japan with a very high thread count. I can't seem to post pictures from my cell phone, but they are from Robert Kaufman, and the line is called Enchanted Pines. I am sure you google a picture and source.

Very nice. I like the pattern.

CanoePam 03-26-2016 09:39 AM

More details: The specific fabrics in the line are "earth" (the brown with the moose) and "lake" (the blue with water and trees).

Maureen NJ 03-26-2016 09:53 AM

Great quilt and design.

MargeD 03-27-2016 11:26 AM
