Man quilt

If he's a packers fan, I'd go that route. Ahem, my husband always likes Steeler-y things.

My boyfriend's favorite colors are black, gold, and red (Iron Man colors...coincidence? I think not, he's a big geek) It looks pretty manly. I used a dark red and a vibrant yellow for the gold. I'd post a picture up of it, but I don't have any on my computer at the moment.

Also, A red, blue, and cream quilt done for my parents is't very girly. I attached a picture of that. I think that it is mostly about color choice, but I also think that having larger squares help some too. (Stars look girl-ish to me, but that could just be me)

I love burgundy, dark green, brown and cream for a guys quilt. It's almost like jewel tones very earthy and male. Or burgundy, navy blue, and cream. That works too. I do like that quilt that Jenny just showed in this tutorial. Very nice and easy to do. I'm doing a wall hanging for my husband that has a panel of steam engines (he loves trains) in black, burgundy, dark green and cream. It looks really good. I'm almost done with it. I got to get my son over with his camera so I can post some pictures. Good luck! Hugs, Jan L

I always think blue and brown looks manly. Here's 2 options, one modern and one traditional that you can get from here (click the picture to go to the shop). I think they'd both look great in the quilt above with a contrasting plain jelly roll.

Good luck and let us have a peak when you're done!

Wow! I really love how this quilt turned out! That is so pretty. Now you just need curtains and shams to go with it and it's perfect! Hugs, Jan

Wow, you all have some great advice!! I'm curious to find out what you decided to do. Do tell...

Ooh, pretty quilts! What a coincidence that Lenie made the one JR recommended. Very sleek and modern looking. Love MLT's Illinois quilt and Andrilla's stunner.
