I am sure that buying a 4'-6'length of PVC and 4 end caps is only a few $.He made an extra set, which we gave to a friend for a donation of $5 to the quilting fund :-)
I always make fun of my husband asking what the deal is with guys & PVC! Your husbands idea was great and I'll share it with my hubby.
