Welcome to the board!
Everyone is welcome, EXCEPT for Quilt Police.
I love your quilt that you made....are you sure you are just starting?
I promise I won't tell your friends that you play with fabric.

Welcome. My 10 year old nephew loves to sew, especially on rainy days. Occasionally he asks me if it's ok for boys to sew. I tell him, yes, everything you learn to do makes you more valuable in the world.
That's true for both boys and girls!
Explain to your friends that sewing isn't that different from carpentry. Both sewing and carpentry require precision, geometry skills, concentration and creativity. The big difference is that for carpentry you work with wood and a multitude of tools; for sewing you work with fabrics and a multitude of tools.

Welcome Randy. You certainly are in good company - many excellent male quilters here and elsewhere. A Notion to Quilt, local quilt shop in Massachusetts, had a quilt show last year with all male quilters showing their work. If you are single, this is also a great place to pick up girls, I bet. LOL Your first quilt is wonderful, so I'm sure you're on your way to good things.
