"A strong design and bold fabrics in deep, rich colors give Joy Hoffman's contemporary Nine-Patch quilt a masculine look." The pattern pages are from the April 2003 American Patchwork & Quilting magazine, and the quilt finishes at 77.5" x 104.5"
There are template patterns included, but Joy suggests using Tri-Recs templates she developed with Darlene Zimmerman and the Tri-Mate tool she developed herself. I have used Tri-Recs on two or three quilts, and I can tell you they're worth the small investment. They are not included with this give-away, but are readily available at most quilt shops and can be purchased online.
I saw the quilt made up and it is really quite lovely. The kit includes 12.375 yards of fabric, and comes in a big zippered bag. Backing is not included.
To be entered in the give-away, just leave a comment and say you'd like to make this for your husband, boyfriend, father, grandfather, or that you'd just like to win it for the heck of it. That's a good enough answer at the LA Quilter household!
The drawing will be held on Thursday, April 1, 2010, at around 7:30 pm California time. (I'm always confused about whether it's daylight savings time or standard time, so I always just say California time.) If your comment won't link back to your blog, you must leave an email address for me to contact you if you're the winner. And if the freeways are a mess that night, I might be a bit late - but it will happen!
Good luck to everyone.
I'll include my stash report here so I won't have to push this post down the page tomorrow. Thank you for helping me get back in the black on my stash report - barely!
Year-to-Date Totals:
Busted: 98.625 yards
Purchased: 98.375 yards
Net YTD: .25 yards busted!!

Oh yum! Would you believe my husband has more quilts than I do? I'm so bad about making them for ME. Anyhow, it would look fantastic on our couch, as we've got a beige-brown theme going on.
HI Vicki...I have the rulers at the ready! Thank you for including me, and for your generosity of heart.
That pattern is gorgeous! You're in the black, even if it is only by a FQ! Way to go.
I've never made a quilt for my husband, so winning would at least give me the inspiration to do one. Kathie L in Allentown
I love this pattern! I think it will be for my husband. Will be the first that I will do specifically for him.
Hey, count me in. This is a wonderful give-away. And a good quilt to be made as a gift!
OHH! I would make it for my son-in-law!
I would LOVE to make this quilt for my Father-in-Law, a real sweetie who turns 90 this year.
Thanks!!
Oh, my, I love the colors and design! And I happen to have a hubby I like and three grown sons as well, so needles to say, I would be thrilled to have a chance at this prize! Thank you for being so generous.
Vicki, this is such a nice giveaway....thanks so much for doing it. I'd love to make that quilt for my husband...putting up with me for almost 37 years, he certainly deserves it. Pick me!!!
This will make a wonderful quilt. I need to make a new one for my husband as he is quickly wearing out his old one. I already have the tri rec rulers, though haven't used them yet. Be a great time to learn!
Those are beautiful fabrics! I am sorry that work is taking over all of your life right now. I hope it's only temporary!
Oh, you are in the black again! Woo hoo!!!
Now, just pick me!!! :) I would love to make another quilt for my pups that would match them! lol
Even my dogs have their own quilts, I guess I should make one for my husband!
Oh wow, love the colors. Already have the rulers.
Because it is our wedding anniversary on the 1st I would make it for my husband. Yep, I think he might like that.
Hendrika
For my DH--NOT! lol I want it myself! Great giveaway! I really enjoy your blog posts!
Vicky, what a generous give-a-way! I also have the tri recs. tho it has been awhile since I have used them. I would make this for Jerry - he does not have a quilt yet. It would be a great Lake Tahoe project this summer! Have a great Sunday and a better week. Thinking about you all the time.

Wow! Wouldn't that make a great gift for a Foster child that is graduating from High school in May? I make quilts for Theraputic Foster Care. and would love to make it up to donate. Every quilt I donate is one I would be willing to give to my child or grandchild.
Hi, I would make it for my husband. I too have never made a quilt for the better half! He would love that pattern and the colours are perfect for him. Thanks for having such a wonderful give away, Sharonj.
Hi Vicky - I would make it for my DH - never made a quilt for him. Love the colors.

Very nice quilt kit. I would love a chance to win. I have a tri-recs ruler and it's a great ruler, very easy to use.
I'd love to make this for my husband. Then I would take my "Orange Crush" quilt back.
Hi Vicki!
I would love to make this quilt for my son...it would be absolutely perfect for him! He has been asking for quite some time for me to make him a quilt too!
Thanks for the opportunity to be included in your give-a-way!

I would love to make this for my Stepfather. For 39 years he has been the best Dad a girl could want. Thanks, Kelley
koletzke@gmail.com
Hi,
Since I'm a very beginning quilter, I would make this for either my husband or my son. So, I'd just put it on the coach and they can both use it! :-)
Thanks for offering another giveaway so quickly.

Wow what a fabulous giveaway. It would be a wonderful quilt for my son who just moved into an apartment. Thanks for entering me.
What a beautiful quilt kit!! I would make it for my brother-in-law. He is going thru a very rough time so I think a quilt is just the thing to make him feel loved!
Suzanne
I would love to make this quilt for my husband. He is so understanding of my quilting addiction and of all my other imperfections. To him I'm perfect. Thanks

I would love to win. I have never won anything and I know a guy who would love it.
My hubby could use a larger quilt and the colours are wonderful in this. I love seeing him all cozied up.

Love it. Would use it for a wedding quilt as my husband does have a quilt or on our bed (and I do have the tri-rec tools from an LQS BOM)
I would like to win this just for the heck of it, too!

I've got one more brother who needs a quilt made, and this would be perfect as he loves coffee! (and of course is very manly). You're a very generous lady--thanks for having another giveaway!
vtaannieo@gmail.com
Since I didn't win the last give away I am back in the black. I want to thank you for that. I don't want to be entered but just want to say 1/4 yd is better than being in the red. Keep it there.
Vicki, I would love to win that quilt. I would be perfect for my nephew who is just getting his first home.
Julie at bjktalbot@msn.com
I'd love to make the quilt for my husband and he can share it with me!
Gorgeous fabrics! I would love to make this for my future SIL!!! He would love it :)
SheilaC
I think my husband would love this over what I am planning to make for our guest room I hope to have when we move again. I know I would love to have it...
How I would love to win this and make the quilt!!!
This is a beauty and off course I want to win it. And a positive stashreport. Good for you.
Oh wow! My guy would love that quilt.
With his birthday and Father's Day around the corner wouldn't that be a great gift. Thank you for sharing!
Wow what a wonderful giveaway. I would love to win this and make it for my brother who has been wanting a quilt. Thanks
This is a beautiful quilt kit ! I would love to win this to make as a Christmas gift for my Daughter.
deckhoff8514@esagelink.com
I would love to make this for my dad.
My son recently bought his first home. He is single and has done no decorating. I would love to make this quilt for him.
What a wonderful give away. I would split it into two quilts for quilts of valor.
Tiffaneyc@hotmail.com
Vicki you have to be one of the most generous people in blogland!
That quilt is beautiful. I would love to win because I have a male friend that is buying a house that I want to make a quilt for. I always have a hard time picking fabric for men because my own love of more color always takes over. Thank you for the chance to win such a beautiful quilt.
I always think the men in our lives are so hard done by when it comes to quilts! Lots of fabrics and designs that appeal to us girls but not so much for the men. I love the colour range of the fabrics in this kit and and the pictures from the magazine look very special!
What yummy colors. I'm not sure which special gentleman in my life I'd make the quilt for. Possibly my oldest son who just turned 21!
This is "anonymous" again....sigh....I posted about possibly making the quilt for my oldest son....my name is Cindy and my e-mail addy is frazzyus@yahoo.com
I'd love to make this; my husband needs a new couch quilt!
I would like to make it for my nephew, Nate, who's college education is taking way too long, because he spent a semester in Sri Lanka after the tsunami, rescued animals in New Orleans that fall, and now as an intern isin Haiti. God bless him.
How could I not want to win. Beautiful. I'd love to make this for my bed, which I share with my DH...So I guess I can say I want to win to make 1/2 for him (and 1/2 for me). Yummy giveaway. Oh how I hope I win. Colors would be perfect in my home!

I'd love to win some fabric especially the masculine type. I have 7 brothers that I'd like to make a quilt for one day but I don't usually collect this type of fabric.
Thanks for the lovely giveaway I would be thrilled to win !!
tanyainjville@yahoo.com
What a stunning quilt. That fabric is just toooo much! Would love to win it. Thanks for the opportunity.
My husband has never been overly excited by my quilts but recently has asked me to make him one that is long but not overly wide. He wants it to use in the recliner so it civers his feet. This has the perfect dimensions and the masculine look is awesome. I am going to look for that magazine to find th pattern also. Wish me luck. Thanks for the offering.
If anyone has a copy of this magazine or just the pattern that they would part with contact m at meyersacc@aol.com. I would love to make this.
This looks wonderful. I would love to make it for my husband. I'm a new quilter and slowly trying to get one made for all my family members. Thanks for a great give-away.
Wonderful blanket, I would win so beautiful fabrics and blanket would do to my husband, this year celebrates 25 years of this lifetime to be walking together. thanks for letting me participate
Vicky, I know Allen would love to have a quilt from you! He shares real nicely with me and with the pups too! Hugs and love!
Wow! what a great quilt and a lovely give-away! My son needs a new quilt. I went to his house last week and the one I made 7 years ago is looking rather raggedy! He so deserves a new quilt!

I love this fabric and it would be great for a quilt for my sweetie! I'm so happy I found your blog!
I recently purchased the tri-recs ruler~ maybe that's a sign? :-) I would love to win this kit and would make it for my DH because he is the only one in the family I haven't made a quilt for. :-o Thank you for the chance and I hope work slows down for you so you can enjoy spring!
I'd love to win... I'd make this for my boyfriend, or maybe just for myself!
My Grandson has been after me for awhile to make him a quilt. As his words "I am not a baby Nana can have one that a boy's " I am looking at the fabric I think it would be perfect to add to some fabric I have already gather for him. Thank you for this giveaway it's very kind of you to offer it..

I have never made a quilt for my Hubby ! Maybe this will be his chance!
I would love to win and make this for my brother!
Would love to win this one- our bedroom is chocolate-y and would look awesome on our bed. So I guess it would be half my hubby's! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Cheers,
Heather
hfbowers@gmail.com
My husband has several quilts lready and I am currently working on a quilt for my father - so I think I would love to win this kit for my brother - won't he be surprised if I win!
Vicky, you are so generous. I think my oldest son would really like this quilt, so I'll ask you to enter my name in the drawing.
Thanks.
I usually use bright girlie colors when quilting but would like to branch out. This project seems to be perfect for doing so. Thank you for the generous giveaway!
I've been planning to make another quilt for my second (of five) sons. He is fussy, but the colours and fabrics would definitely suit him. What a great giveaway!
I already the the Tri-Recs tool and would love to make this quilt for my son-in-law who will graduate with his Doctorate in Neuroscience this year!! What an awesome give away. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity.
I'd love a chance to enter your wonderful giveaway - Thanks!!
kimberlybreid at hotmail dot com
I would love to make this for my son, he is single again and I am sure he would love it for his apartment. (some of his friends made fun of his flowery quilt)
I would use this fabric/pattern most likely for a quilt for my 12-year old son who is about ready for a more grown up room. Thanks for the chance (and from him, too. He is a boy with a grateful heart.)
What a great giveaway. I have yet to make a quilt for the hubby and think this would be a nice addition to our home.
toneyandmeghann @ aol.com
What a nice giveaway..I have the rulers ready to go....my Hubby would like this quilt!
I'm leaving soon for my niece's wedding, so I'll have a second nephew-in-law (??) to make a quilt for....
I would love to win this quilt which would be perfect for my husband. Count me in! Sue
I would make this for my 25 year old son. He just completed his Masters Degree and I am oh-so-proud!!!
I would make the quilt for my husband. Please add my name to the give-away.c
Too rich and luscious for my hubby; I however love the color scheme....so sophisticated!
I would love to win this quilt kit. I always enter these give-aways, but have never won ! Very generous give-away!
Trish www.quilttalesandcattails.com
Oooh, wow, what a great giveaway. And the colors are so chocolate-y. Would love to make this one for my dad in Germany. He recently went to his 1st quilt expo with my mom - and somehow found a Kaffe Fassett quilt book and shipped it to me. How cool is that? That deserves a return gift. Thanks so much!
And your stash reports is in the BLACK - yeahhh!
I would love to win this quilt package just for the hell of it. I have made so many quilts for others and this would probably be given to some deserving soul or mabye QOV. I really want to put some effort into a charitable project. Thanks
I would absolutely love to make this for my mother..I have just started quilting again...it would delight her...she is 76 and likes to have something to snuggle with and her cat...beautiful colors
I would love this to make a quilt for my Dad.
I don't have colors like this in my stash, and would love to make a nice, masculine quilt (for a change). I don't know if I'd make it for John or his father in Michigan, but it would be special coming from you!
OOH that is pretty! I have those rulers, but haven't made anything with them yet. Also, I have a husband who hasn't ever gotten a quilt made for him. He would love it!
Hey congratulations on your stash report! You are in the black!!! Woo Hoo!
I'd like to make this for my husband...he is such a sweetie.
email: bgailey@hawaii.rr.com
I would LOVE to make this quilt for my husband, who complains that I make for everyone else but him! It would be SEW PERFECT on our bed !!! And that's the truth! Thanks for the fun, and the fabrics are GORGEOUS!
I would LOVE to make this for my husband -- he is so supportive of my quilting obsession!
i would love to win this one for the heck of it. i do like the pattern and the colors....would work perfectly in my house!
My son loves having a cover to snuggle but he drags them all over the house :0(
However I haven't made anything big for my Dad for quite a while, he does get cold at night and my mother would ensure he took proper care of such a present.
What a cool giveaway. Pick me. I already have the rulers but have never used them.
What a truly generous give away. Please include me. I would love to make that quilt for my son! Lizzie easwinney@csuchico.edu
Vicky, this is a neat Giveaway!
I would make this up for our own bed;it'll look great with Colonial decor! Thanks for your Blog!

Amazingly, I believe I kept this same magazine just for this pattern "someday"! I had completely forgotton about it until your post. Maybe this means that now's the time to make it!!

Oh Vicki....this giveaway is wonderful...I'd love to make this for the elderly family that live just across the road from me. He is always asking about my quilting.
I would love to win this kit!!! My husband is working at Camp Liberty in Bahgdad, Iraq. he keeps asking me to make and ship him a quilt. This would be perfect.
Congrats on getting back in the black. I am still in the red for stash busting.
Wow , what a fabulous giveaway. What DH(dear husband) or SO(significant other) wouldn't want a gorgeous quilt with masculine colours. Whoever wins will be really lucky.
love those colors, they would look great in my house, suppose I could make it for hubby, but it would really be for me!!
This would be a cute kit for my brother. I've never made him a quilt, so it would be a huge surprise.
This would be wonderful for my son as he goes off to college this fall. Thanks for the chance for the very generous giveaway!
I would like to this for my Dad. Even better if he makes it himself!
WEll I need to make one for my son and I'm sure he would like masculine colors!! Robin- rnoel57@gmail.com
Oooh I would make this for my husband as a gift for our 10th anniversary. He'd love this one!
I love the colors, can I make the quilt FOR ME?? Oh, I don't really need to win any fabric, but you're having fun, so I had to comment!
This quilt would be for my husband and he would probably be the one to make it---he just finished his first quilt and is now designing and making his second one! He does a great job, too! Thanks for entering me in your generous drawing!
My daddy is the only one in my family for whom I have never made a quilt...hadn't even thought about it before I read your blog post. These would be perfect for him, but win or lose, he is going to be the next family member on my 'to do' list..
Wow! What an AWESOME giveaway! I would love to win this for me. Thank you for the chance at such a lovely prize.
How pretty or maybe I should say hamdsome .... we have a new SIL so this would be perfect. Please throw me into the pot. thanks.
I would love the kit! Be perfect for my son. Thanks for the chance. I have a blog but I don't know how to connect to it thru here yet :(
Wow, I would love to win this and make it as a wedding present for my fiancee! We are getting married this summer:-)
Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!
Oh what an awesome giveaway!! I would probably make this quilt for my dad! I haven't made him one yet!
I'd love to make this for my husband! He says that I've neglected him and made quilts for everyone but him. Sadly, he's right about that! As parents you always seem to put yourself on the back burner behind your kids needs don't you?!
I would like to win, just for the heck of it... As usual, a very generous giveaway- Thanks Vicki!
What a neat giveaway! In a house full of testosterone, I have a hard time coming up with non-girly stuff to make for my boys. I think I would make this quilt for my dad though for Christmas. I've been trying to come up with a project to make for him anyway, and I can actually see him appreciating this one!
These colors are so gorgeous. I'm not usually in to browns, but I like these.
Likely I'd make this just for the heck of it & wouldn't know who would get it until it was done.
gevbin13{at}gmail{dot}com
Hello Vicky, Your give aways are beautiful and generous. I would love to participate, please include my name. If I were to win, I would make this for my son, Chris', bed. Great pattern, too!

Wonderful fabrics--they look like my DS--no, I take that back. I think I need them!! Thanks.rapture
I would love to make this for my hubby! He loves it when I sew for him.
norahs3[at]earthlink[dot]net
I'd have to say this would be for my future son-in-law. I've made for my son and even my ex-husband I'm so glad I have another man in the family to sew for. I got the tri-recs tool last year but haven't tried it. This would be perfect!
My husband is a quilter (I taught him) and HE would like the kit.
As he doesn't have a blog of his own I'll have to link to mine.
My brother has been hinting about wanting a quilt. This would be just the jumpstart I would need to make that happen for him. Thanks for the chance to win!
OK... I would make it for my son... the quilt I made him and his wife for Christmas is "way" tooo girly... thanks...
If I won this lovely kit I'd definitely make it for my DH - after putting up with me for 22 years I think he deserves his own quilt - LOL.
Definitely for my son who would love the combination.
I would love to win it because I am a guy, a guy who quilts. I would make it for myself - oh yeah! I generally use blue in everything for myself but I love those earthy colors in this.
Oh I loved this quilt when I saw it in the magazine, and your kit of fabrics for it are gorgeous! What would I do with it - I would make it for my new son in law who loves these colors. He is always bugging me to make him a quilt, but I never found anything I liked enough. This would be perfect! And it would go in their new house so well.
I know my dad would really want a new quilt! Maybe this could be the one?! Thanks for the giveaway!
That is super Vicky! Hope I win - I'll make it for me!
I love the pattern. I would make this quilt for my hubby - who doesn't yet own a quilt made by me.
I would love to make this for my hubby, he's been beggin for a new quilt on our bed.
My oldest son would love this quilt. I might research it and make it anyway if I don't win.
Thanks for a great blog
What a great give away. This would be a wonderful quilt for one of my two sons!!
I have the tri-recs tool and love it (made quite a few quilts with it).
Thanks for the chance!!♥
I would love to make a quilt for my husband. He is surrounded by girly quilts, but I have never seen a "manly" one that I like! This one is perfect!
I can not believe that you are giving this away!!! Don't you want it for your own special someone? Should someone take your temperature? Well, if you don't want it, then I sure would love to win it. I love all of the rich and robust colors.
Thanks for the chance.
what a wonderful give away. I am a new quilter and would love to have this. Great blog! Paula@gmail.com
I would to make this for my hubby.
rhaun@blarg.net
what a generous giveaway. I would make this for my hubby to go on his brown leather reading chair in his office. would be perfect. don't get too stressed, stop and smell the roses or what ever else might be blooming in your neck of the woods!
what a lovely giveaway - never made a good quilt so would love to win and get started!
I would LOVE to make this quilt for my hubby!!!
I would LOVE to make this quitl for my hubby.
Hi Vicki, the pattern is great!!! I would like to make a quilt for my father. Oh, and greetings from Slovakia :-)
Please enter me in the drawing, if I win I'll make the quilt to my dad, he's always asking me to make things for him, but the brown colors are tempting me as well..., nahhhhh I'll make him a quilt!
160 comments before mine ... wow, what are the odds? not good. Anyway, your offer is lovely and I would love to make a quilt for my husband. Thanks for the chance.
I'd love to win this beautiful giveaway. I'd make it for my dear Dad, who turns 91 this year, and lives in chilly New Hampshire.
Susan in NC
sgalasso@triad.rr.com
I recently made a quilt for my son in blues/browns. This fabric would be great for my husband.
Would love the kit for a friend who stays with my husband when I am out of town. He has been begging me for a quilt and has even offered to pay for everything.
Katherine T.
This looks lovely... and if I won this I would make it for my Mum - as she's always making quilts for me and other family members - she only has 2 quilts finished for her.
I just adopted a 12 year old boy! And every new child needs a new quilt.
My 13 year old son would like it. I'd love to put it together for him.
I think this would make a great quilt of valor...thanks for the give away.
That is one beautiful pattern. I love browns! I would make a quilt for our bed, we recently bought a King size and have nothing on it yet.
How is Penny?
Would love to win the beautiful fabric and pattern. There is always someone who would love a new quilt.
What beautiful masculine colors!
I'd love to make it for my DH to
drape over his tan recliner when he's watching foorball games.
Hi Vicki, I'm intrigued by the pattern and will have to search for the magazine's back issue if I don't win. Thank you for the opportunity to enter your giveaway.
That would be perfect for one of my many nephews, all the nieces have been gifted a quilt but there's a lot of males waiting for theirs.
You do choose wonderful fabrics and patterns.
