Need help with ideas please!
I really need some help with an idea to make a lap quilt for my son-in-law. He is a carpenter by trade, and I'm hoping to find some fabric and design. Any pics you can share? Ideas? Thx in advance!

I am not sure about fabric but because he is carpenter by trade perhaps a carpenters star pattern in his favorite colors :-)

In my experience men are not picky you could choose a favorite pattern of yours and make it in his favorite colors in batiks. If he likes greens use a varriety of strong green batiks limiting the florals, you could also use blues or a varriety of brown and tan batiks. Also black and white or black and red are easy to read as masculine.

My dad likes all the darker colors (brown, green, dk. blue, etc.) but my husband really likes the brighter colors. Orange, reds, bright blues & greens with dark back grounds. So...a Carpenter Star in his favorite colors would be my suggestion, but let him know the name of the quilt block. Have a good time with your project.
