Manly quilt or Not?

Me and my quilting angels have been working on this quilt for a little while. I finally finished it up. I’m hoping it will work for a man quilt. I’ve had a request for a man battling prostate cancer. What are your thoughts?

I quilted it with simple organic lines alternating the direction with each square. The angels used this method to turn a layer cake into these great 16 patches. If the consensus is that it will work for a man it will quickly go to it’s new home. If not I’ve got to get busy and make a masculine quilt.

I have one started from leftover from this quilt. Hope to share that progress soon. Linking up with Sarah and Amanda Jean to celebrate this fine finish.
