I don't blame him for loving it; it is beautiful. Both of you are rightfully proud.

Kris, this was my first attempt at curved crosshatching. There are many wobbles...too many to take out! I purchased a ruler from Jamie Wallen. Not sure they would work for sit down, but you might want to look at his video. It made all the difference. I will also not do that small of a cross hatch any time soon! The 4 largest blocks took me about an hour a piece. Next time it will be alot less dense. Live and learn!

Can't ever go wrong with blue and yellow and your piecing and quilting are fabulous. No wonder he is in love, with you and the quilt.
