This is such a fun thread! I'm excited for you. You know he's interested or he wouldn't keep coming back. And he now knows you can cook and bake (lasagna, pie, cobbler), and apparently he likes to eat, so this sounds VERY promising. The quilt is great and he is sure to love it, especially since you chose Carpenter's Wheel. That will make it more special to him.
Please keep the updates coming. Good luck. I'm rootin' for you, girl!
