He will love it! You did a great job figuring out how to make the quilt your own.

What's not to love. That is one beautiful quilt. You can feel the love that went into this quilt and your husband will be wrapped in it( what could be better). BrendaK

At a quilt show in a San Francisco folk art gallery I saw a show, "Four Generations of Quilting". Besides incredible quilts, there was a slide show with an older woman being interviewed about quilts made by her mother down to her grand daughter. They were a Black family and didn't use "patterns" or have any fancy cutters, rulers, etc. The person interviewing asked her, "But what if you make a mistake?" The older woman stopped for a beat, stared at the interviewer, and then burst out laughing. "Honey" she said, "these quilts are made with love, and love isn't ever a mistake!"

I just made my dh a quilt and the mimbas I used are every which way. Oh, NO! It will never make it to a quilt show! Do you think he cares? No way! I was taking care of 2 grandchildren for 6 weeks, making the quilt at their house under very awkard conditions (also teaching the little girl how to quilt). Am I going to redo it? No way. The love is there and, as he pointed out, now you don't have to stand at the bottom of the bed to "see" all the designs, you can see them from any angle (well, sort of). Love isn't ever a mistake!
