Barbgil....my DH is a retired ironworker/welder
I guess using "machinery" is just second nature to them...haha.
We just finished making place mats and pot holders for our daughter in CA. I'll take some pics and post them. He did a good job with these, too.
I've read him all these comments and he is just blown away that there has been so much interest in his "beginner" quilt. Thanks so much ladies.
