Rail fence in browns and creams. Use 2 1/2 inch strips cut into 6 1/2 inch lengths. Sew 3 strips together (mix them up) and then cut into 6 1/2 inch pieces. Final size 6 1/2 X 6 1/2. That way you can add as many as you need depending on the height of the man. Add a 3 inch border around the edge and finish.

I really like the rail fence, but I think the pattern on the fabric is a bit too big for that pattern itself. I know it goes together really quick. so if it's offset with the full blocks, it may look cool, especially if I carry it into an outside border, too.

Whoops!! I MEANT to say the Well Wishes pattern. I thought the black, off white, and dark green would look nice in that pattern, the the birds in the squares and also the outside border. The pictures of the other Board members were truly inspiring!

How about using the bird as a center panel of the quilt and for the borders you can select any variation of a 4-patch, using civil war repos (woven plaids) in the earth tones of the period. Very Manly.
