I had to laugh about the beard ... It was shocking at first, but it grew on me! Or rather the thought of hubby standing on a chair with his beard hanging over that quilt just is so comical! That is something to see!
That is one beautiful quilt for your 15th wedding anniversary and very special that the two of you worked together to make it yours alone. A lovely quilt indeed and beautiful work.
By the way, congratulations on you 15th year together.
