I think it is a great idea! It would be something you could do together, and what could be better than that? I know a man who quilted for years, and made beautiful quilts. I should say he made quilt tops, because he didn't quilt them. He had them hand quilted by a lady who did really nice work. He liked to hunt and fish and even hunted alligators, but he enjoyed the quiet pleasure he got from quilting. He doesn't quilt anymore, but he sure enjoyed it when he did.
