How kind of you to want to honour him in this special way.
First of all, for the quilt ...
... a label with your personal sentiments, about what he means to you for being a SAHD!
Some other possibilities that keep with your theme ...
* Mug rugs for that chunky mug!
* Book cover and/or bookmark to go with the book?
* Ditto on the cookies and cakes .... or other treats/snacks that are his secret loves?
