I have seen magnificent quilts designed and made by men. They have an eye for detail and have done marvelous work. There was a time when only men sewed, the women spun and wove the yarn and cloth and the men made the clothing, by hand, of course. A man invented the sewing machine, remember?
At Paducah I have seen intricate designs made by men, go for it and urge him to use his manly skills to make quilts.
Fabric and sewing machines don't have a women's only sign on them. I had a neighbor who sewed all his wife's clothes, made drapes and sewed his own shirts.
