Well, this purchase was not something I would have even had in my wildest dreams. The first quilt I made for DH was from plaid flannel shirts purchased at thrift shops. It is a rag type quilt and he absolutely loves it. Perhaps the fact that he has had a cold and cuddled up with his man quilt as part of the TLC provided has something to do with his purchase. In any case, I am very grateful that he used his discretionary funds for this quilt. We don't exchange gifts with each other at Christmas and tend to work toward something we both will enjoy whenever we meet on common ground.
