I love your "manly" quilt. My son is waiting for his "fishy" quilt! And, it's true that it's hard for a girl quilter to get the manly thing right. We're just not of the same wave-length!

You did a beautiful job on this quilt. The quilting looks really good.
Mostly I quilt, but I do make short sleeved shirts for my husband. He is a fisherman and if I see a fish fabric, I will ask him if he likes it for a shirt. He only likes drab (my opinion) fabrics. So I miss making shirts in bright colors, but he does love the ones I make him that are sort of drab. So some of us have to make a sacrifice, but it is always worth it.

Here's DH with his finished quilt and a picture of the matching pillow cases. The inspector is Little Bit - she approved.

Man - I love the quilting expecially on the panel. I kinda like the white since it picks up the other whites in fabrics - but what do I know - I too have alot to learn lol
This quilt will be very special for years to come especially since you worked on it together!!! I say great job!!!
