    A great quilt! It would be especially nice for my friend's son who loves browns, yet your quilt is not too dark. Good job!

    You could use this pattern to make a Christmas quilt. The block pattern makes me think of wrapped presents. For a 3-D effect, you could sew on bows where the narrow pieces cross.

    [QUOTE=AndiR;4734900]This is a quilt I recently finished. I really LOVE this fabric line - Little Gatherings from Moda. I wanted to keep a masculine feel to the quilt when I quilted it, so I took a pantograph pattern called Mahogany and modified it to make a block, then rotated each block so every other one was vertical/horizontal. It was a lot of fun to make and I'm happy with how it turned out. I liked the fabric so well that I'm now making another quilt from a Jelly Roll from this same line

    Like that idea of the panto......but I really don't see what you did.....did you redraw it putting one horizontal, then one vertical and made a row out of that? As you moved up the rows you simply started with the opposite motif......love the look of it....great idea!!!!

    This is a real nice "man's quilt." Nice quilting design too.

    Great minds must think alike, Gael, as I had the same idea! Now I suppose I'll have to make another one with Christmas fabrics!

    Geri, you can see what the original panto looked like here: http://tinyurl.com/cfoh6dp
    I split out part of it so it would fit a square area, then copied that segment and rotated it so it would be vertically oriented for the next block. Then did exactly as you said with starting with the opposite motif for the next row.
