I have made a few quilts with fleece on the back, and the method surprised me by being easier to handle than a regular 3 layer quilt. So this would fit into your need for speed. They're warm and drape nicely, and the quilting looks nice front and back. To speed things up even more, you could start with a panel in the center. There are quite a few designs on the market with natural or rustic themes that look masculine. A pieced border of your own design would add a nice handmade element. He will love having something you made especially for him for these frequent trying ordeals.

Even though I have mine to finish and some train pillows for my husband to sale at a train shows. So many ideas but no time. I think my dads will be a priority so that I can take it to him within a month. Will splurge on a precuts.
