Mine is really good about helping when I make a scrappy quilt. He has a really good eye for color balance. On my last qayg project the front was scrappy 9 patch and the back was same size one piece squares, all scraps. He helped me lay that out so they were evenly distributed too- no small feat as he was also helping position the front at the same time. The finished quilt was just right, with his help. I really enjoyed his input. He also enjoys helping me choose borders. His good eye is helpful there, too. He feels good then when we give it as a gift - it's from him too. :-)
