I want to make my grandson a quilt for his high school graduation with this fabric but I need a block or a quilt that is manly, if you know what I mean. I would like to maybe focus on red white & blue since he is going into the Coast Guard. I trust you all to have some great ideas, I've seen them! And I'm coming up blank.
Thanks a bunch.

how about a shadow quilt as seen here https://www.google.com/search?q=shad...w=1017&bih=685
if you are using sneakers because he's a basketball player, the sneaks will be floating off the 'floor' as when shooting a basket

There is a pieced sneaker pattern. It was in a magazine so it should be on the net. I would do the pieced sneaker blocks in the same colours in the fabric and use the sneaker fabric for sashing and borders.

I like that quilt, but not sure I'd do it again. I gave it to a woman raising funds for medical expenses to auction off. I didn't like it until I said I'd give it to her. I kept my promise.

The pattern I was thinking of was by Sonja Callaghan and it was in Quiltmaker May/ June magazine a couple years ago? It had 3 neat patterns for sports fans. One was the skateboard pattern and the sneakers pattern was called - I Love My All Stars.
