My husband is a rough and tough guy but he can appreciate a good quilt! He had been asking for a quilt of his own complaining I had made a quilt for everyone else we knew except him. I knew his quilt had to be just right - not feminine and full of flowers, like most of my other quilts.

He likes to hunt and he likes dogs. I found a fabric that had red labrador retrievers on it. I used that with a navy blue fabric to form a bear's paw quilt. On the back, I used a flannel with the 1940's pin-up girls on it. He loves it. It is "manly" while also being a reflection of my love of quilting. He frequently brags about it and shows it off to his hunting buddies.
