If you didn’t know this about me, I am a very deliberate person. When making a quilt for a person, sometimes it takes me years to come up with the design and color options for that specific person. This one took longer than usual but it is now gifted!

The Deco quilt by Lo & Behold is a perfect guy quilt design. In shades of greens, taupes and an oyster background, Peppered Cottons shot cotton gives it more depth than your usual solid fabrics with the waft and weave being two different colors, it greens, in particular, almost shimmer.

The first time I bought these fabrics was in my old-fashioned Benjamin Franklin dime store which is attached to a grocery store in Benzonia, Michigan, very near our cottage. I fell in love with it, I bought all colors they had. When I later realized there were colors I did not own, I bought the complete set of color cards to more easily plan quilts. Ordering fabric online isn’t my favorite but when it is the only option… these help.

A better look at the colors I chose. Peppered Cottons make for a beautiful drape!

Ready for hand quilting.
