In 1994, I made a wall hanging for my DH. I don't know if it was for his office, but that is where it has hung until this moment. It is the only quilt that I have hand quilted. Do not get your toes near it or you will be caught. :oops: That isn't the worse of it. Not knowing any better, I took a miniature pattern and blew it up on a copier. :shock: For all of the crazy choices that I made, it didn't turn out too bad. DH loves roses and this quilt is pieced flowers with lots of points. A few point, but 8 out of 10, are cut off or floating in the air. I have worked in the office with my DH for the last 10 yrs. I cringe everytime that I see it. I pray that our visitors know nothing about quilting. He will not let me take it down. After about five years, I told him that the wonderful Hancock Fabric that I used on the border was fading due to the lighting. I even held a piece of the original fabric up to it to prove it. He doesn't care. Nothing that I say will change his mind. I plan to make him another wall hanging that looks dimensional. My fear is that DH will just hang it next to the other one. I'm glad that he really liked it, but aaacccckkkkk.
