i say go for it my DH is working on his first quilt i dont think he will ever realy get into the peicing but he is looking forward to doing the quilting since i have a short mid arm on a frame and he thinks quilting will be alot more fun than peicing. ( just as a side note he will only use vintage machines since he sayes they are more like vehicles inside and he has also taken up machine cleaning/repaire.) so i think having having a hobby you can share is nice but maybe he will be interested in another type off quilting and than you can work together but there whont be any compitition.
