That's what I was going to say. I think you need an alarm on your sewing room door, like one of my boys had. You need to make a big "Keep Out" sign out of fabric and hang it on the door.

I will post a picture of the top he used them on in the pictures section. Ever since I taught him how to sew, he has now made 16 tops. All out of 2 1/2 inch blocks. You may remember seeing him proudly showing off one of them on an earlier post. I appreciate the offer to look for some in your own stashes but I think I will just go with the idea that scrappycats and some other ladies had about using some other colors. I will post the picture under something like "this is what my DH did with my white blocks" I guess this is an unusual problem and it is kinda funny. I never thought it would EVER happen at my house though.

wow! is this a new one on me.
It will never happen in my house, trust me, but whoa,...never thought of having to have boundaries and rules regarding, "my fabrics versus your fabrics...go cut your own" :shock:
Since you do have this problem, I think you are taking it far better than I would...
Alternating rows with different designs, colors of the white, sounds like a winner to me.
Threaten to take all his needles (including the one in his machine), and scissors/rotaries away...and no quilting shows or magazines for you, young man, - for a while! :evil: :XD:

1960's quilt was half way finished so I made it look like it was planned and it turned out just beatiful.I do like the idea of the other quilters about value of colors and being creative.

Hand him a seam ripper and ask if he knows how to use it.

I could tea dye but then I'd have to find something to match that. I think I will follow scrappycats suggestion and use several other colors. Maybe it will look planned out that way. thank you all for the good advice and for laughing with me. My problem is unique for sure.
