I thing the quilt is stunning and so original! I'd put that on my bed any day! I have had that situation with my DH too. I finally realized that he likes 'classically pieced quilts where all the pieces logically follow a pattern. I like surprises in my quilts. If I make a traditional quilt top, I usually piece the backing with a 'surprise'. He likes the front, I like the back...win, win.
