Yes
If he is interested YES! Also realize that not all quilters are not traditional quilters. Men make the best quilters and are more apt to be improv piecers,aka modern quilters than a traditional, contemporary quilter.
Every male quilter I've gotten to know are somewhat alot like I am, a free spirit, who just slaps pieces of fabric together in an art form which for the last five years as taken off international know as the modern quilt group or MOD Quilters.
If you can accept that once you teach him the basics of piecing that he may just do his own thing you both will do fine.
There are some "men" only quilt books out there and they are such an inspiration.
