Looking for simple pattern for a man
#51
I used the Squares within Squares 2 pattern at Quilters Cache to make a quilt for my hubby's birthday. I used tiger fabric in the center and then used coordinating fabric for the frame.

Geez, I just keep changing my mind. There are just TOO many great ideas!
BTW, every time I read my own subject line "Looking for simple pattern for a man", I wonder WHAT was I thinking?? ha ha...

Personally, I really don't think the pattern itself is going to dictate how "manly" or "girlie" a quilt is. It's going to be in the fabric. I think the pattern is secondary in this case. It sounds to me like he's quite the gardener and loves flowers and plants, so I don't think you can go wrong with florals. I'm anxious to see what you come up with. I'm sure he's going to LOVE whatever you come up with. He sounds like a very kind and gererous man. I did like the idea of a Carpenter's Star. Just my opinion. Good luck & I will be watching to see what you do.
