I still find it funny when the men in my life have an opinion about my quilts. My husband is very supportive of my quilting habit and looks at my completed blocks and quilts with a lot of interest---but when he starts offering advice, it cracks me up!!!!
I am in the process of making a quilt for my youngest son. He gave me a blue paint sample from his bedroom and asked me to make a quilt to "go with" it. After a lot of emails and discussions we finally decided on a color palette, (green, blue and brown) and a pattern that he liked. I began making blocks and when he came over the next time he decided that it had too much brown and green and he wanted it to be mostly blue. It took a lot of talking on my part to convince him that if the quilt is the same color as his walls that you would not notice anything in his room but blue. He finally decided that I am the quilter and maybe I know more about it that he does--he is going to trust my judgment on this one.
Yes, Jackie---I can just hear your son talking quilts with you!!!
