My biggest challenge doing this quilt was working with the colour brown as it is not my favoutire colour and finding fabrics that were not floral and girly. I am pleased with the end result as was the recipient.

A man's quilt
Last year I made mum a snuggle quilt for mothers day and I have since found out that dad was in the habit of stealing a corner or two on a cool night - now as you know a snuggle quilt is for one to snuggle into and not meant to be shared - so with dad having a birthday today I set to a couple of months ago to rectify this situation for the cooler nights ahead and in the piccie below you can see what I came up with.

ReplyDeleteLovely quilt Karen. Definitely looks snuggly and warm.
ReplyDeleteLooks great Karen, I am sure your dad loves it.
ReplyDeletelOVELY QUILT, KAREN. THE COLOURS ARE VERY NICE AND JUST RIGHT FOR A "MALE" QUILT. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely colours but then I'm into earthy fabrics. I particularly like the white border as it seems to make the lighter colours pop out of the quilt.
ReplyDeleteA lovely quilt Karen, your Dad must be very happy with it.
