#1 piecemaker,
He does beautiful work! You need to show him Bonnie Hunter's website, she has quite a few patterns using 2.5" squares and strips. www.quiltville.com

For some reason, I think I see a lot of them in his future!! What do you think?

Beautiful job...I am impressed.....Can't get my DH to even attempt that.....

I think you did great in convincing him to try something different. It's beautiful. What is he doing with all his quilts? Is he also quilting them or do you do that? (or have them LA)?

He can do the same with so many different colors!
