Finish It Up Friday...Denim And Plaid, The Rest Of the Story!

Finding patterns for quilts that are fitting for men is sometimes a little trickier. When I saw this all denim Giant star quilt online I thought that would be a great man quilt! I do have quite a stash of denim, however I didn't have quite enough contrasting Shades to pull the quilt off the way I wanted it. So I pulled out some corduroy and plaids to actually make the inner star from. It is actually one I started last year before Christmas to be a gift. I was unable to get it finished in time and so it sat and waited I guess for this year haha! I chose a woodland animal flannel for the back. I had to supplement with a few other neutral flannels. Even though the denim makes for heaviness and the flannel makes for fuzziness I still did do a layer of batting.  I wasn't sure that I liked it until I got all the quilting done and now I do! I'm excited to give it to someone special! Can't remember the measurements but it fits just fine on a queen size be
