	Sheboygan, Wi. The center block is called Fanfare and the corner blocks are Wisconsin Star. I changed the Wisconsin Star a little to match the border. I might make this one for a son-in-law who is a huge Packer fan.	This is quilt for a soccerfan! I used a readymade Layout from the EQ library.	EQ Challenge 2007 11 It's a Guy Thing It's almost hunting season and the hunters are in their blind looking for the "big buck". But the deer are busy checking out camp. Wheeling Illinois

EQ Challenge 2007 11 It's a Guy Thing This quilt makes me feel like being in a car with someone that won't stop for directions.	A great scrappy quilt Plano Texas	This is a representation of a real quilt. I'm quilting the last borders. I made this quilt this summer and fall for my son, who was raised in East Tennessee and is a die-hard Vol fan. He's just moved out, and its been a labor of love. Definitely a guy thing. The first quilt I have designed from scratch. I planned it a few years ago but only recently felt advanced enough to execute it. Queen size extra long. I'm through with orange for a while. :-) Tallahassee, FL	Houston, Texas, USA Dip into your fabric stash for this quilt. Numerous scrappy prints will accentuate the strong, graphic lines in this design.

Hélène Laparra Golden trio for a friend	Hélène Laparra Souvenir de mon père	Joann Mendoza My USMC	Joann Mendoza Marines like Pink
This quilt summarizes the passions of one of my friends: forest, sea (sorry didn't have time to draw the velvet swimming crab!) and maths! The leaves are from EQ6 library. All the other designs are my own (mushrom and seashells were reused from previous challenges). Formulas are real! and they all have a meaning but it took me a while to draw them! Cheers from France	My father loved painting as a hobby. Bat (from EQ6 library) is the symbol from the Spanish province where he was born (Valencia) and that's why I choose the warm colors. 3 L for his name: Lorenzo Laparra Lopez.	Created with help from my USMC husband Gerald. I also included lighthouses, something he collects.	Used Gerald's favorite color, pink, and added it around the USMC blocks and the Mariner's Compass.

My husband would like this one -- he likes blue and T is our initial. Mission, Kansas	Sparks, Nevada USA Just a big ol' airplane!! Maybe remote controlled, out of Spin and Marty.	Sparks, Nevada USA I wanted to do "Trains, and Boats, and Planes," but I didn't like the train blocks I found. But all three items seemed like toys in a boy's toybox.	The blocks in this quilt represent the different flags used in Formula One. The car motif is traced from a colouring in image found on the internet. Adelaide, South Australia

For me, "It's a Guy Thing" had to include something about astronomy as my 'guy' is very much into this. I found pictures of an observatory and a telescope and traced them to make the silhouettes, then put them against a sky full of stars to be observed. Perth Western Australia	Lots of applique creates a play town to keep the younger guys amused for hours. Perth Western Australia	The occasional plaid quilt warms the quilting heart. I am thinking that this would be a perfect nephew quilt. Lebanon, Maine	Aside from working with 'tricky plaid' this should be a fairly easy quilt to execute if paper pieced. Lebanon, Maine

Sierra Vista, AZ	The border fabric is called Friends of Winter and it inspired this winter quilt. I'm making it in flannel fabrics. See my website Hillsboro, OR	Calimesa, CA This quilt is in progress, a result of an Ohio Star swap using fall colors. I sent the blocks with the maple leaf centers. My husband walked by while I was in the design phase and really liked it. It is his "guy" quilt. Because I designed this not knowing what I would receive in return, the actual quilt varies somewhat from the colorway I used to design it. Everything else remains the same. I plan to make those bow ties in the border 3D. That is the easiest way I know to make them.	I used the Arabic Lattice block from Block Base and used plaids for the fabric lap quilt for my DH I preferred to use the solids here to minimize the size of the attachment.

A Quilt for men or boys	South Florida The simple Interwoven Squares block has always intrigued me. I felt it would give a masculine feel to a quilt. The Grandmother's Brooch block is set on top of quilt in Layer 2. See my website		Red, White and Blues Storm at Sea block as quilt layout In keeping with the Maritime theme, center and corner blocks have sailboat, lighthouse and sea gull embroidery patterns from the EQ Embroidery library set on layer 2.
