I will often tell my students that when you face a problem that you think you can't get around - walk away. When you return refreshed and clear headed, you often can see a solution. Or have someone with fresh eyes (your wonderful hubby!) look at it. Usually the solution is there and often it is not as complicated as we make ourselves believe. We are so hard on ourselves. Hope he got a super hug for his help!

I agree. He is definitely one to keep!!

I agree with Sync, your DH is definitely a keeper. Occasionally, when I'm having trouble with math when making a quilt, I ask DH, as he's very good at math. I can usually do it; but sometimes my brain gets "stuck" and I can't think of a reasonable solution.

Bigger is better, if it hangs down the sides, two can sleep under it and it won't just be a spread. Great advice from DH.

So glad it wasn't too small, although Borders could be added. always good to have someone else to help.

Definitely a helper. Sometimes you need an another point of view.

What a sweetheart.

Sometimes it just takes someone else to see the trees when all you see is the forest. I would rather have a quilt too big than too small.

Isn't it wonderful that gender perspectives are different! But remember, the saw cuts both ways. The solution is great. And, I agree with those who who spoke of difficulties with the depth of mattresses. I this is a big problem with quilt patterns- they need to be made longer to cover the depth better.

My husband has a good eye for color. I was stuck on a purple and bright pastel quilt and he suggested using red for the sashing. Perfect! Think I'll keep him! Now maybe I can get him to help me post a picture!
