Thanks everyone- yes he is lovely, and very thoughtful. he knows how much pleasure I get out of quilting for the last year and wanted to make somewhere for me to sit out in the summer. I had no idea he was putting quilting stars out though! I should have twigged though, as I was making a baby quilt with these patterns on it and he was taking a great interest in the stars but said nothing at the time lol he must have just filed it away for future use lol
He really is a keeper!

Just goes to show that there are still good men in the world. He did a great job too.

Your DH is definitely a keeper, unless you can earn some pennies, for fabric, for loaning him out :)

Kudos to the DH!!!!!

What a nice thing he did! Enjoy your new patio.

Wow that's so pretty! What a wonderful surprise!

Keeper!!! What a keeper!!!!

What a kind and thoughtful husband you have! It is lovely.

AAh. He's a keeper.

I love it!! You have a very clever (and sweet!) husband! Enjoy it - and him - for all they're worth!!!
