My DH cuts strips for me and squares them up. For some reason, I can't seem to cut strips straight. I am working on my first log cabin queen size for my sister, and it's looking pretty darn good.

He looks over my shoulder and grunts!!!

Nope, not here :) The most I can nag him into is helping me hold it up for a pic when it's finished (if you notice on my posts 90% of the time they're laid on the floor!)

DH does most of cutting for me & makes great acrylic templates. After awhile he started complaining about my color choices, etc, so I challenged him to make his own blocks - he did & now i have another sewing buddy :lol:

My husband helps pick fabric, and he's made a small quilt of his own once, but that's it!

He likes to use the AccuGo and cut strips, hearts etc. He likes using the embroidery machine.

Some DHs shop for fabric, sew blocks and share the sewing room. I'd give up quilting if my DH was that helpful. LOL. We have other interest we share and help each other when asked but I want him away from my quilting activities. He feels the same way about me not being involved in his guns.

sometimes he gives me color advice, oh, and he pays for everything ;-)

Yes...he is with me most times when I am fabric shopping; he holds the bolts and helps me select the fabrics. He's a keeper!!

My fiance will help wash/dry, iron, and layouts! He does do a lot of his own repairs/mending by hand. I have tried to get him to actually sew on a machine but he has not tried it yet. Although one day I heard something in the basement. When I went to see what the noise was he was practicing on the industrial machine he bought for me to see how it worked. He said that I should be carfeul with that machine as it sews about 40+mph. I laughed so hard, I cried.
