Yet Another Photo

I think I have written before about my husband and how he is one in a million. He not only likes quilts, he even enjoys going to quilt and fabric stores, often picking out fabrics all on his own. He is also the fellow who insisted I have this blog and who takes all the photos. So he insisted that I needed another photo, one where the quilt was hanging rather than lying on the floor on the ground.

The changes that I made to Sue Garman's design include rearranging the blocks to suit my own idea of balance, eliminating a couple of blocks and substituting some of my own choosing (I wanted hearts in each corner so two of the heart blocks are either Jeana Kimball or Eleanor Sinkiewicz), removing some minor elements and adding some others, and D2 block is an adaptation of a Jeana Kimball design. I also eliminated the final dogtooth edging and substituted the scalloped edging. The fabric choices and colors are always up to the maker unless it is a kit so those are different from the original as well. The end product is substantially the same but also noticeably different. The slight bend on the side comes from it running in to the handrail.

The most amazing difference between my husband and most other men is that he likes to shoe shop with me and often picks shoes for me without ever looking at the prices. As I said, one in a million.
