    The dog at my husbands quilt so I need to make him a new one. I'm doing the hugs and kisses mystery but I like a lot of piecing in my quilts and am just a little afraid that it will be too simple for my taste. So I created this monstrosity in EQ. I think it's definitely manly enough. I let my husband pick out the blue which is a bit darker than what is shown. I picked out the rest. So what do you think am I crazy? I think it's doable, though not in a weekend!!

    The size is 64x64 just the right size for curling up on the couch on movie night.

    It doesn't look too daunting to me :-)
    I say go for it!
    You have a blessed man to have a wife willing to make such a beautiful quilt for him.
    Get LOTS of cuddle time under it too.

    I love your design and can't wait to see it done. I love a challenge--I can only do so many simple designs then I lose my motivation. I take on something difficult and when I need a break from that I'll do an easier pattern for a while. And no, I don't think you'll get that one done in a week-end LOL!!
    Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

    Will this be scrappy or will you use fabrics from one fabric line? Please post finished pictures, please!! Beautiful design.
