I am sure this has become his style, I just wondered how he thought of this way to construct quilts. It is certainly different than anyone else.

As was previously questioned, "what is your husband's background? art, quilting, sewing, - his mother, grandmother?
Beautiful style.

Beautiful style.
All his sewing skills he learned from me, although I would never bother with pieces that small. I think 1" square would be my minimum.
He likes working on a treadle as it doesn't interfere with the TV.
Sorry for all these posts, but he wanted me to answer the questions people had.
Thank you all for your wonderful comments, he really enjoys reading them.

Great job both of you. Funny thing, I was sitting and wondering if a treadle would be a good solution for sewing at our vacation property (there is no power source there at all). I wasn't sure of it would be possible (I don't know that much about them). Guess I just found out it is!
