    I think it is a beautiful, striking quilt! He should love it. I realized reading this post that I really don't like people describing a quilt as cute, unless it is a baby or children's quilt. Then cute seems appropriate. I think "cute" somehow diminishes all the hard work and effort and time that goes into making a quilt.

    There you go - I think that just hit the nail on the head. I disliked that description immediately!! I don't want it to come across as cutesy or silly. I thought it was elegant and gender neutral, so "cute" struck me as babyish. I'll ask my brother for another honest opinion because I would rather make something else than give a gift that might be laughed at rather than loved.

    Don't practice until you get it right, practice until you can't get it wrong
