just wait until it's all done to show him next time- i have found most men really LOVE quilts -- when they are quilts-
when they are still in the works it is more difficult to (see) what you are doing- and it's not just men---many many women are the same- and worse. I've had women look at a quilt in progress and say---well, it's all raggy - i'd just throw that away---then some time later see the completed quilt and not even believe it is what they first saw--they still (don't get it) i have a friend who regularly tells me---wouldn't it be easier to just go to Penneys?
non-quilters are all alike regardless of gender :)
we can only educate them-
and hold back our projects until they are complete-meaning quilted and bound :)
