Just an added thought. I definitely think I would let her buy the fabric she wants and send it to you for the quilt. Then I think you should use the fab. that DH picked out and make a quilt for the two of you. Apparently DH liked it well enough to pick it out and I think you and he just might deserve a bit of something for yourselves. Blessings on whatever you do. Gerbie

you found gorgeous fabric, go ahead and make the quilt, if your sister doesn't like it, keep the piece and maybe one day you will find someone who likes it and will appreciate all your work and thoughts.

Quilts are so much work, I realize this is something you love to do, but if your sister is that picky I wouldn't bother with her. I love the fabrics your husband picked out. Make it for yourself, if you don't like it when it's done then give it to the sister that was thrilled that you wanted to make her a quilt in the first place. Unappreciative people are a waste of time, there are too many others who would LOVE to have a handmade quilt.

I wouldnt do the skulls on it no way. Especially since it is for your sister AND NOT the boyfriend. Chances are they will break up and she will have that reminder of him forever and you don't want her to just put it in the closet and never use it because of that reason. Instead, when he asks her to marry your sister, then, I would consider making one with skulls for him but only then. Just my opinion though.
