It's official. My Husband hasn't a clue about quilting! I just showed him the "flag" I just completed and he said, "It's a flag". I told him yes it is and I just made it. I took it over to him so he could see it better and he said the stars are all messed up! Yes dear. Never mind. I will no longer look to him for approval of my quilts! This is what the half finished top looks like. I now have to cut it in strips top to bottom and sew it together. It is from a pattern that I got at the Fort Worth quilt show. "Fratured Flag" by Cross Mountain Stitchery. MEN!!!!

just wait until it's all done to show him next time- i have found most men really LOVE quilts -- when they are quilts-
when they are still in the works it is more difficult to (see) what you are doing- and it's not just men---many many women are the same- and worse. I've had women look at a quilt in progress and say---well, it's all raggy - i'd just throw that away---then some time later see the completed quilt and not even believe it is what they first saw--they still (don't get it) i have a friend who regularly tells me---wouldn't it be easier to just go to Penneys?
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 :)

Well, it's like I always tell my husband, "it's a good thing you're cute!!!!"

Nice job, by the way.

My brother never fails to remind me how dumb it is to cut up fabric just to sew it together again....but he did like the quilt I made him!

I love the fabrics you chose for this quilt.

That's going to be really neat when you're done, please post a finished product photo. It's true others don't always have the same vision we do for our projects. Enjoy your process and just show him when you've finished :)
