My DH and I have decided to take up quilting. DH is working on his first block and I have to say I am really pleased with what he has accomplished so far. Here is a picture of what he has done so far. Please feel free to comment.

Welcome & have fun quilting together! First block looks great!

Quiltngolfer 05-16-2014 08:30 AM

That's a great start. You picked a tough block for a first effort. Looks like you are going to be good at piecing.

Great job on that block, and he didn't start with an easy one. Welcome to the board. My wife and I are a quilting team also.

Wow, very good. Your points are all good and your seams all meet really good. Great! Keep on! It's hard to believe this is your first block. Well done.

Good for him!!!

mrandmrsquilter 05-17-2014 06:55 AM

Thank you all for your kind comments. I am so proud of my husband. He has never done much sewing, just a little mending on his torn jeans. The only problem is we need a bigger work area and another sewing machine so we can be working on projects at the same time.

joyful1 05-18-2014 03:48 AM

Tell him to keep up the good work.

NIICHMOM 05-19-2014 08:14 AM

WELCOME from northern Iowa~~~~
Great Block... My DH supports my quilting and will help with whatever he can, but will not hand quilt, no matter how much coaching I do...LOL Keep quilting

TacoMama 05-19-2014 08:27 AM

Looking good. I personally am not crazy about the orange, but the seams and all are great!
