disclosure: this is a sponsored review & giveaway by Crazy Old Ladies & Emily Herrick
Welcome to the Geared for Guys Blog Tour!!
I was very excited when Emily informed me that she had written a book with guys in mind. There is often lots of "boy" fabrics & "baby" things... not not many GUY patterns! The book is full of information on fabric selection with guys in mind & so much more.
When Emily sent me the book to review I instantly fell in love with the Gamer pattern.
It has nice clean lines & typography... how could you go wrong??
So I made my own Gamer quilt from Robot Factory by Caleb Grey for Robert Kaufman.
The wind was a bit crazy this morning so it was impossible to get a flat shot. The fabrics I chose have less contrast than the original, but I'm quite happy with the result. I made this quilt with my special someone in mind, but I have a feeling my brother is going to ask for a matching one!!
I need your help so I can finish this quilt. Please help me decide which fabrics I should use for binding & backing. {I also have enough of the background blue for binding, but not backing.}
I need 1 binding fabric & 2 backing fabrics for a pieced quilt back.
Emily is offering one book to a lucky reader!! Enter to win by helping me decide. {Final decision of fabric choices lands with me... unless the recipient voices his opinion... and then he can pick whatever fabrics he wants!!}

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 206 of 206the orange and brown robots fabric in strips to echo the front but width ways and the light blue with gears on for the binding. then it will be reversible! looks like a great book.
I vote black binding and the brown and red/orange for the backing!
I think you should bind it with the white robot fabric (2 from Left)and the back should either be the first blue or the dark blue-the fabrics you didn't use. I would pick the light blue if it's going to be an indoor, not-get-that-dirty quilt. If it's going to get wear and tear-I would pick the dark blue, so stains/dirt that may happen don't show up as easily. THanks for the chance to win! I REALLY want this book!!!
I have some of this robot fabric -i would put a robot on the back with the gear fabric. I have a chunky chevron stripe that came with my robot fabric
No brainier-the 2 oranges for the backing and that lite blue for the binding!
cool quilt!
I like the brown and the Red/Orange for a pieced backing and the orange for the binding :) But it that combo looks like a junkpile of robot parts, I am not responsible :) I'm a diehard Clemson fan, so I use orange whenever possible, and that might possibly affect my sense of taste :) hehehehe
