do a simple quilt manly looking w/ plaids, hunting or etc
WEll wishes is always a good pattern let us know if the love bug bites hehehehehehehehe |
Personally, I think a quilt of themed fabric would be like taking a busmans holiday.
I would suggest a Carpenters square pattern. A very old fashioned, simple, manly pattern in two colors. Or a log cabin, or a modified schoolhouse. They hint at his career without proclaiming it. I think making a quilt for him is a great idea. peace :D |
another suggestion a Lover's Knot or Card Trick
then when you catch him make him a wedding quilt :thumbup: |

I'll have to look in my book and re-post Or a log cabin, or a modified schoolhouse. They hint at his career without proclaiming it. I think making a quilt for him is a great idea. peace :D I found it. In a book: Better Homes and Gardens Quilting Pieces of the Past; pub. 2004. It looks rather complicated but I don't think it is becauce it is just strips of fabric. Lovely in blue and white. Just a thought. may all go well. |

The pattern I am thinking of looks like several interlocking strips that form squares. http://www.google.com/search?um=1&hl...l146l146l0.1l1 |

I think the Carpenter's star would be lovely.
Good luck with your relationship and please post a picture of your new sewing space and the quilt. Maybe the guy too. |
