I like it! And I usually don't like to quilt with browns but the mustard yellow really makes it. Great job!

I like it, too, Lois! Your uncle will love cozying up with the Minky. :-)

That looks nice with warm brown tones. Very modern looking. TFS!

Best to you,

It looks great. I really like the rectangle shapes with the curved quilting. And a minky back just sounds luxurious.

Looks warm and cozy. I like the color combo.
Great quilt.
TFS.

Lois,
I love that design and your color/fabric choices work great! It's on the modern side of the quilting world which I find myself leaning towards more and more. WOW...this is added to my project list.
I'm sure your Uncle will love it..very nice!

Very nice and gentlemanly, yet the minky makes it soft and cuddly -- all men like that combination while they recline and control the remote while switching between golf, football, baseball, and NASCAR.

Is this a kit or did you pick the fabrics? Your placement of the stripes is very appealing. You have such a good eye.

I know what you mean about your Mom~I started sewing as a little kid - my Mom couldn't sew a button on and she was severely color blind - odd for a female, but runs in the family. I used to send her to Singer Sewing Fabric Shop to buy thread & notions for me while I was in school --I always sent fabric swatches and the sweet ladies there knew not to let her leave with the wrong shades. She always supported my sewing and every day that I quilt, I think how much she would have loved a special quilt made just for her.

Your Mom would be proud you made this for her brother. I like that you quilt with emotion.

Very nice! Color combo's are great and must agree that the quilting swirls really are a nice addition to the texture. What is Minky?

Redmary, Minky is an incredibly soft and cuddly, longer fiber, plush fabric - probably polyester. Babies love it, so I'm told, and so do adults, both male and female. It feels absolutely wonderful. I used it to back my own cuddle quilt.

Marsha, this quilt came as a kit. I usually don't buy kits, because I love to choose my own fabrics, but this one really appealed to me. I always agonize over color placement. Sometimes when I'm finished with a quilt I ask, "How did I ever let that happen?" But generally I'm quite pleased with the results.

Thanks for all the kind compliments.

Lovely quilt, Lois! I like the corner squares that carry over the color scheme. Well done!

I like the quilt design and the unique color choices. Really great gift.

Love your uncle's quilt. I know what you mean. I have quilts left to me by Grandmas on both sides also by a Great Grandma...wish I had taken quilting up much earlier!

You've made a lovely quilt. I really like the color combinations, although they are not what I would normally choose for myself. I'm sure your uncle will be pleased.

Very nice! I love brown, and I love brown and blue together. It's masculine but cozy. You had a good idea with the pants hangers, too.
