All your votes got me through to Round 3, which was beyond
exciting!!

Each round we’re given a theme to base our fabric bundle on.
This time around, the theme was “Man Quilt” and we were specifically asked “if
we could make a quilt for any man in our life who would it be and why”.

I have many men that I adore in my life, but I instantly
thought of my best friend that I’ve known since I was 12 and just entering high
school! He’s been a constant in my life, no matter whether I’ve lived close by in
Montreal or out of province/ country (Ottawa, Toronto and Japan at various
points!) throughout our close to 30-year friendship (eek – 30 years, that’s a
LONG time 😉).

Curating a bundle for him was a lovely way to commemorate
our friendship and show him my appreciation for his constant and unwavering
support.

He’s an urban professional working in the fashion industry
and has an amazing sense of style. I decided to pay homage to his classic
modern style by focusing on fabrics with lots of texture and subtle prints. Caramel,
gray and navy are such classic combinations that are always fresh and current.

What a sweet story and beautiful curated bundle, Shannon! 🙂
Thank you, Yvonne! I've been loving this challenge as it's making me step outside my typical fabric frame of mind 😉
I love your palette Shannon! I would definitely make a quilt for my man with those colours!
Aw, Izzy, that's such a lovely comment! I tend to be all florals and bright colours – this was a fun one to step outside my comfort zone 😉
