I am quite against making quilts for men. My husband is always warm and rarely pulls a blanket up. I've seen quilts with tools, planes, lumber fabric, and the like that quilters make for their spouses. I imagine the man smiles and thanks the well-intentioned woman, and never uses the quilt for comfort. I don't know why women do it. I think they probably made each child a quilt and feel they are leaving their husband in the cold. I don't know.
We got this kit at Quilted Works a while back (Triangle Trips). It is made with Woolies fabric which is thick like flannel and very soft and nice. The sample was on their backroom wall for a long time, in these colors. Then Mark and I met and married and ever since he saw the quilt at Quilted Works and knew we had one, he was in favor of it. This year he said it should be one of the first quilts I make. So . . . since his birthday is at the end of March, guess what? He loves it. It is on our bed.
Linking to Finish It Up Friday!
