No I didn't say I would not teach him, I would teach anybody...he doesn't live here. I would be happy to teach him and he does have great color sense as he does photography. I just thought it was funny that he equated quilting with being able to sew a straight line.
Actually, I sarcastically said he would crap if he knew how much math was involved. His mom said he really loves math and he would probably really get into it.

My guys started with backdrops and costuming. None have taken up quilting, but they aren't asking me to do their sewing either.
One is now branching out into leather top hats and goggles (steam punk style) etc. and is searching for an affordable leather sewing machine for stitching his leather fans. He's getting started in what looks to be the beginning of a profitable business.
So you never know where the young man you are talking about will go with his humble beginning.
Give him all the encouragement you can - then you can say you knew him when. . . Lol!

My DS grew up watching me sew clothing, crafts, etc., but I didn't start quilting until after he had gone away to college. However, I taught him how to use my machine for stitching and mending, and he did a decent job. When I got a new travel machine, I called and asked him if he wanted the old one (a Bernette), and he jumped on it. He calls me up once in a while to pick my brain on how to do something or other.
Your friend's son just needs to be educated on what goes into making a quilt. He doesn't know, so I suggest you either educate him or ignore him.

He will either like it and work hard to become a better quilter, or he will hate it and stop. Either way he's exploring a creative area for personal satisfaction, and personally, I would do what I could to help him.
