Yup - all the rules have gone out the window!! You should see the way he cuts some of the fabric! Works though, so who cares?

He sure is talented! Way to go John!
Yup, I can go anywhere I like. He is now so swelled headed from reading all the comments that he can't get out the door!

Wow, you may have started a new fashion! If you every quilt a holster, be sure and post a copy on this site.

Not with fabric, but my hubby has made a few wooden quilts for hanging.

We have two hanging on the outside of our home and our granddaughter is purchasing her first home and wanted one for her front door. He made her a 12"x12" in the colors requested.

I agree, it is nice to see the other half interested in quilting also.

Good luck with your quilting Churckbere15. I think more men should take this up as a hobby, and share all that creativity locked away inside.

My GOM loves your Avatar quilt! Do you have a pattern for this?

Yup - thats the way it goes.

Just traditional blocks, with some creative sashing (he fussy cut diamonds for petes sake!) and of course the pillow wedges.
