I think it looks nice and masculine. He's bound to love it!

Best to you,

Your choices of fabric are right on!! Very nice, I like the pattern a lot. Just right for a 21 yr. old male. He is bound to be impressed. Great job. TFS.

Another masterpiece! He's bound to love it - I know my boy, 26, would. I love it, too.

I'm leaning more and more to the modern quilt esthetic, but I still like my watercolor batiks, and tone on tone prints. Maybe I'll bite the bullet and add a few solids...

I think this is perfect for a man quilt. Really like the pattern and saved the photo for future reference.

impressionante!

That should keep him warm during your MN winters. *smile*

Great masculine quilt. The minky is a really great touch too.

Love your excellent choice of colors. The 'transparency' is perfect! You are really making me take another look at the Weeks & Ringle books :~).
Did you use a collection or pick your own fabrics? This pattern would make a really good Retreat (or travel) project.
Great job Lois - Luke will love it.

Beautiful quilt.
He'll love it.
TFS.

Thanks for the kind comments, everyone. Mary C, the only solid in the quilt is the black field fabric. All the browns, blues and greys, even the lightest grey, are prints. Marsha, I traveled to four different shops to find the fabrics. They are not a collection. The are all small prints, not geometrics, but prints that would read as a solid block even though each "rectangle" is three pieces. It was really a challenge to find the two lightest colors - the lightest grey and the small piece that looks like the light grey going over the black stripe. When all is said and done, I probably spent more time choosing the fabrics than I did cutting and piecing the quilt. But then I guess that's part of the process too. My husband loves it. He thinks I should make a larger version using the same colors for our bedroom.

That's really a wonderful masculine quilt!

That is a great quilt! The modern design, masculine colors and Minky backing - what a perfect combination.

It looks wonderful! I think picking out the fabrics is half the fun. It reminds me of when I was a teenager (which I'm surprised I can still remember). I'd take the bus downtown to the department store and take forever selecting fabric to make a dress. I'd just go crazy over all the different colors and patterns.

That is a fantastic quilt! I love everything about it. The pattern is perfect and your fabric selection is spot on. Very very nice job. I'm sure Luke will be thrilled.

Good color combinations for a manly 21 year old! If he has to carry it on the plane....tell him to hold on to it!

Nice job!
