So ladies and gentlemen my husband and I are at odds here over the fabric type for the quilts I make for Police/Fire and Military. I understand Men are men and don't want girly fabric and patriotic fabric is so darn expensive and is not in stock all year round. (I realize women serve too he thinks they should all be the same men or women) So when I had the opportunity to purchase a bunch of fabric by the pound I bought a lot of red/white/blue yes some may have some tone on tone flowers but they are little. Here is where we differ I say that it should not matter it is a homemade quilt and it is still patriotic. I need the advice of the husbands and guys out there for another view here. So does it matter? Do those flowers in there spoil the quilt.
The other thing is sometimes the quilts go to the wives of the heros who have given their life in the line of duty. I will admit to him that I am wrong and get the other fabric but I really do not think I am.
Thank you to all who have served or have a family memer that has served You are true heros!!
