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 – 205 of 205I 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
