Last summer I collected lots of material so I could make a quilt for my daughter's boyfriend/future husband. He worked in construction and lived most of his life in motels going from job to job and I thought it would be nice to have a piece of family with him. I spent loads of money on the material. Well, the relationship is over, he had a past that he kept well hidden. We are all heartbroken. I didn't want to throw out the fabric which had already been cut to size, but couldn't bear to make a quilt that I associated with him. My husband came up with the idea of making a quilt out of a totally different pattern and give it to a friend of his. So once my brain switched gears I was all for it. I can put lots of love into it, just for a different person. I really need to get this out of here. The top is almost complete, just one more border needs to get put on, hopefully tomorrow. I have a black poly batting that I can use for it and a bolt of blue fabric for the back. I have dark blue and tan 40wt threads for the borders, but the big question is what color to quilt the main top. Blue? Tan? Grey? Green? Teal? I'd appreciate all suggestions as anything I use will show and I really can't put a lot more thought into it. The quilting is just going to be straight lines, nothing fancy. It's intended for a man. Thanks for any help.
