My ex-husband was a macho 6'4 270 lbs. construction worker. He re- married and now has some bad illnesses but loves to make quilts. He has made several, one even king size. I taught him to use a sewing machine and he always compared it as: pieces and parts just like putting together a house only smaller. I used to make clothes for our kids. Now we both are remarried and we both like to quilt. Kinda weird huh!
