I made this quilt for my husband for his birthday and wanted something for a man, but not so much that it would look out of place in our home.
I chose this quilt to enter into the Blogger's Quilt festival because even though it is different from my normal style, I love how it turned out.
The fabric is Holly Taylor and the pattern is Starry Nights out of the book Imagination by Kathryn Squibb and Deborah Jacobs. It is 70" X 84" and was quilted by my local LAQ.
Thanks to Amy for organizing this quilt festival again and thank YOU for stopping by!!

Fabulous Man quilt Mary, isn't it wonderful that the men in our lives are happy to snuggle up under something we have made for them? Thanks for sharing xo
That's a very handsome quilt. Nice to see a different interpretation of familiar blocks.
The testosterone didn't overwhelm the design, it could be entirely neutral. I like the strong browns and the stars. Your husband must love it. Thank you for sharing your quilt's story :)
