But areas may vary on this.

Eddie love your quilt! I tend to shy away from plaids and stripes but I like the randomness of your quilt! Maybe i should explore the plaids again.....
I tend to want the plaids to be perfectly straight and i get frustrated when i can't get them to stay that way.

What a beaut.....uh, er, HANDSOME quilt, Eddie! And I may not watch enough TV to recognize Patrice's quote, but I like it too! I had to look reeeeeealy hard to find any "wonky" squares. And even then, it took me a while to figure out what you meant. So, it's all good!

Oh--very nice! The colors are calming. I never worry about stripes--I just cut. :D
I asked my husband for years if I could make him a quilt--he always said no. UNTIL I asked if he wanted a Civil War reproduction quilt... THAT got his attention. I finished it a few months ago--just in time for summer. :roll:
Your avatar photo is wonderful.
