My husband would never wear a striped tie with a plaid shirt and a houndstooth suit(he'd never wear a houndstooth suit). Therefore, quilts are beyond him. He is also not a keeper. He doesn't keep any piece of paper that can be duplicated if needed. But he has kept me who keeps everything and has fallen in love with quilting. I do not hide my stash from him and he encourages me though it is unfathomable. He is a keeper.
