I have been married for 38 years and I never dreamed in my wildest dreams that dh would sew/quilt.
He is so excited to put the binding on today. but of course the golf game with the guys comes first. I can just see him coming in the door and picking up his quilt and disappearing for a while... AGAIN !!
Here is a pic of how he quilted it.. he didn'want to do sitd because he would be out of the ditch more then in it.. lol
he chose to do diagonal thru the sq.. I showed him alot of quilts on this site and he went with this for his first time.. stay tune for binding and the finalee !

his quilt is bunched up on a chair.. sssshhhh don't tell him that I didn't lay it out nice for a picture !!

Tell him my husband said that is a quilt he doesn't like all those fancy ones.

He did a good job too and a very nice selection of fabric involved.

Right on !! He did a Great Job !!

Only down side is you may now have to have a stash in your stash :)

colleen53 10-24-2010 11:25 AM

the binding is on 3 corners... i showed him once and he took it from there.. i am getting excited !

Baysidegal 10-24-2010 12:37 PM

Wow....he's better than me LOL...I love this...

colleen53 10-24-2010 12:44 PM

ok i had to help pin on binding beause its not very wide due to the fact that he has a small outer border.. i explained to him that if the border was wider then the binding could be a bit wider..
he said he has big hands and that is some little stuff ! well,, it's time to see what he really has because the border is being sewn on now.. gonna take a while I think so again,,, stay tuned !

Wow, he did a very good job. I think more men need to get in to quilting.

KiwiQuilter 10-24-2010 03:41 PM

Well I think that is absolutely fantastic. The border and binding work so well. An awesome quilt. Please send your husband our congratulations - he's done a wonderful job.

Great job on the quilt. Your DH is a keeper!

merrylouw 10-24-2010 03:55 PM

WOW!!!! This has been fun watching this project, start to finish. I, too think he did a great job.

Now he'll have to have his own screen name on the board, his own stash, etc, etc, etc. Hope he'll still have time to keep all your machines running!

Fabulous job! My husband's computer is next to mine, I showed him the quilt and he said...oh you mean there's hope for me? He does help me pick out fabric, although I think it's his way of keeping an eye on the charge card, LOL.

Glad to hear that DH is quilting! My DH says he is going to take it up when he retires so we will be sewing side by side! :-D

sewTinker 10-24-2010 07:51 PM

omg. it's really Beautiful! wow. he did a super job. (and I kept tuning in to check on him; it was like a soap opera!)

So, now that he's mastered quilting... ???

Woo Hoo!! High Five!! DH should be VERY proud of his quilt :D:D:D

littlelambseativy 10-25-2010 07:17 PM

Awwwww. That is just precious that he does that! Ok I need to use words that aren't so syrupy. That is so cool man, that he does that. Dude, your quilt rocks!!!!! (But I still think it's precious).

annette1952 10-25-2010 07:23 PM

Your DH has done an awesome job! I love his quilt. What now for the new quilter? Does he have plans of making another?
