This is the kind of quilt that would live on the couch and be very well loved (and used!) My dad is planning to give me a bunch of his old shirts to quilt with, I think this will be one of the patterns I try 
He's a big guy, so there should be enough for all his grandsons! (and parts of quilts for his granddaughters)
