Men Quilting
#43
Tim, Your bed sounds fantastic. Does your SO still quilt? We would love to see pictures of your other quilts even though they aren't finished yet. The color combinations sound great. I looked online for pictures of a latilla quilt but I didn't find anything. I've never heard of it.

This is one of the Yellow Brick Roads that is spiffy! The colors really grabbed me and I hope I'll be around for a look see at a picture when it's quilted. This is a neat pattern - one that grew on me. I've made 3 in baby size and no doubt will make several more. I've seen some in batik that were really nice with gold lines thruout - made a special rich looking quilt. You go, guy

If only my husband would quilt! It was his grandmother who taught me, so he has grown up with an appreciation for quilting and an understanding (thankfully) of a quilter's need for a stash! Unfortunately, he is trouble in the fabric store. He picks out all kinds of fabric for things he wants me to make him and is not any help in being my outside cheerleader for self-control! :lol: I have recently taught him to knit, however. Which means no source of self control in the yarn shops either! Needless to say, both stashes are overtaking the house!!! :wink:

although i can't understand why in the world you would want him to stop you in the fabric store ( :shock: ) i guess you could try one or more of these tricks:
1) he can't pick out any fabrics for new quilts until he finishes knitting something for you. even "trade". he can pick for 1 quilt for each knitted item AFTER he has completed it.
2) get him started on a fisherman's knit sweater set. go to the store(s) by yourself while he's distracted working on that.
3) he can't pick out any new yarn until you've finished a quilt. (naaaa ... bad idea. too much pressure already to actually finish a quilt. LOL)
4) my personal favorite - as long as you aren't having to switch to eating cat food, shop 'til you drop!!!
LOL

If so, that quilt is done by the power of the mighty Bernina 830. Took me a couple of months, it's my first sewing project. I am still waitning to pin it together but that should happen soon.
You will show us some of your work?
