I finished the Lush Mod Sampler for my brother's Christmas gift. I made slight modifications to Oh, Franssons! instructions by:1.) exchanging block F for larger fussy cut squares of the deer/tree focus fabric framed with 1.5" borders.
2.) using all 35 blocks (excluding an extra block) on the front of the quilt to lengthen it for my tall brother. It measures 52" x 73".
For the backing and binding, I repurposed a lightweight denim duvet cover that we never used, and it feels surprisingly soft and warm. The sashing is Kona Stone, and I quilted with a matching tan thread. The all over meandering turned out looking like camouflage - very fitting for this quilt.

This is such a great masculine quilt! I really love how you showcased the deer in the nested square blocks
That is terrific! Well done. Ann :)
That's possibly the best version of that quilt I've seen. Well done!
I like your modifications of the mod sampler. I put all (sans 1) on the front as well and made the outside sashing wider. I still have to quilt it though... Love your fussy cut squares!
