That's love - on both of your parts - that you would make it for the man you love and he would still use it, plus I think it's very pretty. I like the colors and it reminds me of my very 1st quilt...nothing but 9 in solid blocks with green strips between rows with SID method to attach it to a fleece blanket I used as the back (and batting just because it felt nice and it would never be shown, just cuddled under). The only pic I have is with my kitty, Shannon, staking her claim...that is where she always slept on it. Now my step-son has taken it over and uses it every time we have him, wherever the 10 year old crashes. They must instinctively know when love is the main ingredient.
