That is too funny!! Obviously he's going to appreciate the quilt you make for him. He sounds like a good one. :)
My boyfriend drags his feet about going to the fabric store with me. He'll go in if I promise it'll be an in-and-out trip (and he means it, he gets all sad-puppy if I stop to look at anything besides what I went in to buy). It's too bad, because he's got really excellent color sense, and he'd be handy to have around on fabric-buying days.
