non-quilters are all alike regardless of gender :)
we can only educate them-
and hold back our projects until they are complete-meaning quilted and bound :)

My husband always tries to come up with something positive to say when I show him a finished or semi-finished quilt. He remembers that I've complained when I've had to re-sew seams to get points to match up so he knows that points are important. His ultimate compliment when I show him a quilt? "It's very pointy." He tries.

I like your flag and hope you show us the finished project. Sorry your DH doesn't "get it" :-)

bed. The next AM he said, "oh, see I knew you could just whip this up, and you even made them more comfortable somehow!"
