I will often tell my students that when you face a problem that you think you can't get around - walk away. When you return refreshed and clear headed, you often can see a solution. Or have someone with fresh eyes (your wonderful hubby!) look at it. Usually the solution is there and often it is not as complicated as we make ourselves believe. We are so hard on ourselves. Hope he got a super hug for his help!

I agree with Sync, your DH is definitely a keeper. Occasionally, when I'm having trouble with math when making a quilt, I ask DH, as he's very good at math. I can usually do it; but sometimes my brain gets "stuck" and I can't think of a reasonable solution.

Isn't it wonderful that gender perspectives are different! But remember, the saw cuts both ways. The solution is great. And, I agree with those who who spoke of difficulties with the depth of mattresses. I this is a big problem with quilt patterns- they need to be made longer to cover the depth better.

My husband has a good eye for color. I was stuck on a purple and bright pastel quilt and he suggested using red for the sashing. Perfect! Think I'll keep him! Now maybe I can get him to help me post a picture!
