He is a very patient man working with such small pieces. It's a wonderful quilt and he has done a great job. Don't let him stop now.

He is doing a wonderful job with all those little pieces. Practice makes perfect. That is the kind of quilt I used to love to snuggle under when we went to Grandma's house for the weekend. Great job.

Beautiful quilt! It looks like a time consuming quilt and the seams line up very nicely. Great job!

Your husband made a great quilt! I know from experience that it isn't easy to get all those tiny squares perfectly lined up.

When all of them are done, then he starts sewing the two to another 2 and so on until he has a whole row sewn. Then it lays it on the end of his machine table. Then he does the whole process over again until he doesn't have enough room to lay any more strips. Then he starts sewing the strips of blocks together until he has half of his quilt together. Then he sews the second half the same way.
