I have been gone for a week and got home to a box from the LAQ!! The DS's christmas present (a quilt :) ) was back. I spent the day doing the binding and it is now complete. I also did Pillow cases to match as I expect he would never use shams.

Beautiful quilt and the colors are really pretty in that pattern!

Very Nice!!! I love those fabrics!!! He will love it :D:D:D

Thanks for the compliment on the quilt.

That is my guest room and the floors are actually pine. The house is a Timberframe and those boards are the ceiling below as well.

Warm beautiful colors!

Beautiful quilt. Love the room also!

What a beautiful the quilt. It's very masculine. Your sone will love it.

Beautiful! Your son will love it. Pretty, but still masculine.

A great quilt for a man!! :thumbup: I love your idea of making pillow cases, instead of the matching shames, to go with it. I imagine they will get used so much more!!
:D :D :D :D

That is a wonderful quilt for a man. It looks great.

Very nice.

Thanks all for the compliments. I am very pleased. I really struggled with the quilt and wanted something plain, easy to piece and and very structured looking. Think I accomplished it.

SulaBug - I made them in the dark brown with a thin accent of the gold. Also when I trimmed up the striped pieces, I ended up with 6 strips all about 3 inches wide and was trying to think what I could do with them. I assembled them into a big throw pillow. The center is squares trimmed with the gold and brown again (I will post a pic when done :-D ).

Dont know if you ever tried the pillowcases but they are super simple. Here is a link to pretty good directions.

fantastic!

Very nice. He'll enjoy it. :thumbup:

What a handsome quilt!! It really does suit the bed and the room perfectly! Great job!

Beautiful! And I love the matching pillow slips - thanks for the link too! ;-) :-D

I just make a cover big enough to completely cover the pillows, instead of a sham or pillow case. Makes it easy to just lay on pillows each morning. I just do this for quilts I keep.

Great quilt!!! and pillow cases matching is what I started doing. especially for guys. love the quilt colors.
