being the husband...I love my quilts...my wife and I have about 10 lap quilts that we all use...the grands use them everyday to nap or build tents or just drag around...when they nap..we get a nap too so they are always handy. We only have 3 of our own larger quilts that we made and kept( for now....our daughter keeps trying to get them, She probably has 30 of them). So make your DH a quilt..I think you will be pleasantly surprised at his reaction
