I love this! What a labor of love for a partner who obviously appreciates quilts and your hobby. You are both very lucky. It's beautiful.

Yes very unmanly, but very very pretty. Thank you for sharing.

I used to live close to Amish country in Ohio. I saw this quilt for sale for $1500 and a guy from NY bought it and never even
blinked an eye. I had to look awfully close to see what you are talking about. Some of the Amish quilts had mistakes that you could see wihout even trying. Your quilt is really beautiful, great job.

Then I returned to read your entire post and re-looked at the quilt. By golly, what you said is true but it is not obvious at all. I just thought I was studying a wonderful, great quilt and was wishing I was the one that had made it. You made a wonderful quilt and I'm sure your husband will treasure it.

What she said, I concur!! Wow

This is a gorgeous quilt and althought not manly, it screams love and I bet that's what he'll see. And I didn't even notice the differences until you pointed it out. And when it is on the bed noone, not even you will be able to see both sides at the same time. Thanks for sharing your lovely work with us.
