Your husband has a fabulous 'quilting eye' and you have a wonderful talent with your quilting. What a combo.

I love black and brights! Why do sales people need to question our choices? Ask about my project and then lie if you must, but don't make a negative comment. Geez.

Any links to that pattern? I love the french braid with the diamond in the middle but haven't found that one yet. Your quilt has a nice masculine quality to it and he done a super job of picking out colors for it.
