    Maybe if it had different color flannel it would be more alive! But I bet a guy would like it! LOL

    Frankly, I'm with you on this one, but then, I have two teenage grandsons who could turn a silk purse into a sow's ear in a heartbeat, so maybe this is perfect for a teen boy's quilt. It won't show dirt and it should hold up to abuse.
    You didn't say how old this woman's son is, so maybe his taste will be a bit more refined as he ages, and you can do one more fitted to your talents.

    It is def. a guy quilt. Meaning masculine looking. And it does look warm. If the Customer is happy & thinks her Son will be happy with it, that is what counts. I'm sure it was made with a lot of love.

    It's wonderful that we ALL have DIFFERENT tastes. Frankly, the world would be a drag if we all liked the same thing and thought the same way now wouldn't it?

    I'm not trying to be mean and sorry this may sound that way but this was made for someone else who wanted it that way and will LOVE it that way. Let's be happy for them that they got something they wanted and will treasure.

    (P.S. My 23 yr. old son picked a store bought "designer" name comforter that mirrors that look. Knowing his preferences I just can't imagine him with something different. He's happy and that's all that matters.)

    Honestly, I meant no offense to anyone.

    It wasn't too hard to sew as I used a denim needle and pressed all seams open. Also starching the homespuns cut down on the stretchiness. Quilting was hard though.

    Great quilt for a guy! I can also see this quilt going fishing or to picnics.

    I am slowly working on a crazy quilt for my DH, and think denim is so right for a guy, no matter what their age.

    Looks good!
