I think you should take him on a shopping trip for a quilt and let him see what things cost. I was looking in a store one day and saw a King size double wedding ring and it wasn't very expensive $50 or under and so I started to look at it and the material was like a gauze fabric it felt awful I don't know how it would have been but I doubt to good. I liked the colors and since I've always wanted to make one I said oh let me do that. Well DH said go to the LQS and get some good fabric for yourself. Well about $200. later I had the beautiful fabric on the way home. good I had been saving for it. I plan to start it after the holidays when I'm not so rushed I can't wait. I've been waiting a long time to start it. I think your DS needs to have a lesson from good old mom. Have fun and good luck helping him see reality of just sitting in your chair. It'll be fun to see the look on his face. Sue
