Sorry, but I showed that to my hubby and 11 year old son. I asked if that looked manly for a college guy? They shook their heads adamantly and said, "No." Too bright. We have 2 sons also in their 20s. They prefer black, grey, tan, blue, sage green palettes.

I think it will be just fine. The look you get will totally depend on the fabrics and colors you choose, so it could easily be "manly" enough. It looks like a really fun method too!

Actually, many quilt patterns can be "guy" quilts, it just depends on the colors and fabric. The one you've chosen will definitely work.

I agree with lynnie or JustAbitCrazy about shirting or plaids working well, but even just muted dark colors or woodland type prints would work. Is it a bed quilt or a throw? Flannels would be good as well.
