My husband named this quilt Dazzle as he said it reminded him of Dazzle Camouflage. I had no idea there was such a thing, but apparently in WW1 (and to a lessor extent in WW2), it was used to confuse the enemy and make it difficult to estimate a target's range, speed and heading, rather than to conceal. (thanks to Wikipedia!) There is nothing concealing about this quilt. It is bright and dazzling (like that?) and a perfect masculine quilt. A good size for a twin bed, or as a snuggle quilt.

Evangeline - I looked up the meaning of this baby name and it means "good news, bringer of good news". People with this name tend to be orderly, a bit like the crosses in this quilt. (Thanks Kate for the quilt name :)). The crosses are described as modern vintage, I used modern fabrics, making them into traditional blocks of crosses and hourglasses. The fabrics are from my stash of pinks, watermelons, salmons and deep berry colours. Perfect size for a single bed, or as a topper for a larger bed. You could also hang it on the wall, though it will need a rod pocket.

This is a very large quilt and comfortably fits on a Queen sized bed with overhang. The design of the quilt is called a braid, and in this case the colours flow across the width of the quilt in a chevron style design.
