I agree that guys may have no idea the time and money that goes into a quilt. If you look at your aunt's quilt do you see why he didn't like it .....too flowery, too pink, too girly? He might just like a guy one. I say either way forgive him,
it is up to you if you make him a quilt. I would have him help pick the pattern and at least the focus fabric if you make
one so you know this one will be loved!
