DH's Journey to Arkansas quilt
 

After I taught my DH how to sew, all he would make was quilts with 2.5 inch blocks. He has made about 80 of those tops. I never could convince him that there were other patterns out there that he could make using those blocks. Well, I finally convinced him. Here is his first Journey to Arkansas quilt top. For some reason, I think I see a lot of them in his future!! What do you think?

wow he will be wanting to make many different kinds now.

What I see first is a fabulous quilt! Wow! Your DH is a natural! And hey... there's a zillion patterns he can make with all his 2.5" squares! Thanks for posting this beauty... tell you DH I tip my hat to him!

WOW, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

Nice....
does he do every thing him self?

Great job!!!!!!

Wow great job!

He did a fine job on this beautiful quilt!

He does a great job and has a good sense of color. You could also nudge him towards the irish chains too.

Wow, I love it.

Wow!! Keep him up at night sewing while we chat! He's really going to town with those quilt tops. This one is awesome!! Of course I love the blue.

That is beautiful. he does better work then I. joyce j

He must be a good student, and you a good teacher!

Yes. He does everything by himself sewing wise. He still will not fill his own bobbin or put it in. If his machine messes up and I have to fix it for him, he won't even let me try it out on one of his blocks. I have to use something else. He is very adamant that he sews every stitch himself.

He usually does sew while we talk. In fact, if he is awake and there isn't a ballgame on, he is on the machine!!

Way to go!! Love scrappy quilts and this is wonderful!:)

Good for your hubby. He does a great job.

I think that is wonderful, he did a real good job, much that I ever could ever do. I love that pattern, I saw one in white that he make last night on another page that is real good too. I would like to know what the pattern is called and do you have a pattern?

that must be great fun the both of you quilting. I love seeing your quilts.

that posting doesn't make sense and there are spelling errors. tried to edit but it still comes up the way I first posted.

I am clapping for him.....great job.

Very nice. I'm working on the same quilt right now.

Very nice! :thumbup:

love scrappy quilts thank you for sharing :o)

Very nice!

I understood every word you said. hehehe!! It is fun sewing together. But, it also has its moments!!

dang girl! he did GREAT! wow i can't believe he is done!! i been workin on mine now for about 2 months!!!! way to go to the mister! you really do have a sweet hubby; look at that little fussy cut heart. i really really like the blue!

DH outdid himself on this quilt!

I hope you have a big stash!!!!!!!

I think you've turned your hubby into a real quilter. He did a wonderful job!

Beautiful quilt, he is doing a great job.

ditto........

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, it's just beautiful! Look out, you've created a monster! LOL!

I've been looking at that pattern, maybe I'll move it from my to do list to my to do sooner list! Love it!

You taught him to sew. How did you do that? How did you get him curious and how did you get him to try? I'd love to have a sewing buddy in the house but the cat prefers to crochet. Just imagine - seeing the front of his head and hearing the sewing machine and not a financial analyst talking on the computer. A cohort with great color sense who can pick fabrics for me. (I am a good technician and a miserable artist. But I do well solving technical problems! And I can design clothes - fewer color choices per garment.)

Thank you for even considering giving me directions. Just think, if he sewed, we would need to use a larger room.

The way I got him involved was to mark of a bunch of 2.5 inch blocks. Then I asked him to cut them out for me, explaining that it would really help me out. When he saw how many I was getting, he said,"You sure need to use up some of those blocks." Well, I said, Let me show you how to use the machine and show you how sew them together. It all went from there. He fell in love and has been doing it ever since. It is great to have a sewing partner. But, I just wish he would learn to fill his own bobbins!

Very nice! I love the scrappy quilts.

Amazing. You are obviously a terrific teacher and he is an awesome student. Yes, be prepared to see more projects in this lovely design.
