common threads–minimal and masculine

the current common threads quilt bee challenge is to help jacquie create a modern, minimal, masculine quilt for her son to take to college.

i love, love, love this dot fabric, so i decided that for me, “minimal” meant using only two different fabrics.  and a minimal number of seams.  you could also view the block in this orientation:

well, i suppose you could turn it in any of the four directions, but these were the only two i photographed.  it’s a bit of a stab in the dark, but i hope your son likes it, jacquie!  thanks for giving me the chance to play with this print.
