How interesting ... on the other hand, maybe it is his way of encouraging you <g> ... I mean - - everyone needs to feel needed, right? LOL
reminds me of the story of milking cows. When they utilized milk maids, the cows needed milked three times a day. However, when the men took over the job, besides a number of things changing in the process of making the cow let down her milk, but they found out they only needed to milk the cow twice a day.
Remember! It was a man who created the home sewing machine for his mother - - Elias Howe ... hubby is just hitting his stride! <wave>

Are you referring to his Bow Tuck, or is this another quilt project?
Whenever I receive a notification of posting on a thread, I read the new comments and then refresh my mind as to what the original picture was about.
Each time I look at the quilt, I find more intricacy in his design. can't say it enough "Well done!" <wave>

I was just referring to his quilt. I couldn't even begin to get him to try a Bow Tuck. I don't even know if I could make a Bow Tuck unless someone just sat down and walked me through it. Then I'd be dangerous. But, no, he's stuck on these 2 1/2 inch squares. He got a million of them cut and ready to sew.

I must have him confused with another DH ... we are getting a lot of them on the Board --- cool!
If he likes the squares, wait until he discovers four patches! ;-) <wave>
