I can always count on my husband more than others to be totally truthful about my quilts. Last night I had started assembling rows of a Prairie Flower quilt. He had commented on how pretty it was one time so I decided to add it to my projects. I had chosen batiks for the flowers with the white. background and sashing. He takes one look at the first couple of rows and comments that it "Has no pop". I meanwhile am thinking a classic Prairie flower. So what to do. I decided to make the horizontal sashing be a strip of Medium Blue sandwiched between 2 1/2 inch white strips. Kind of late to change the background color. I showed it to him and said does this help. Still not enough pop. I showed him the border fabric I planned to use and he thought that would really help. Does anybody else get hubby opinions.

Re: Hubby voice his opinion - does yours
I ask my DH opinion frequently. He really gives detailed constructive feedback. In all but one case I followed his advice. I think it helps to get a second opinion.Stash Treasure Acquisitions Beyond Life Expectancy. My stash keeps me STABLE, oh yeah.... and dark chocolate.

Re: Hubby voice his opinion - does yours
My husband was a very visual person... He was a contractor, and knew exactly how a project would look before the first hammer was swung.... So... I naturally turned to him for design advice... He had a great rye for design and color, do I always listened to him.... He was usually right on the money.... And.., he always caught my mistakes!

Re: Hubby voice his opinion - does yours
Sometimes a little too critical, but mainly his opinion is helpful. It is nice to have extra eyes see what I might miss. If I disagree and follow my heart, it usually looks good to me, anyway. I have to allow for his difference in taste often. He leans to more modern and more complicated designs. My heart adores the more old fashioned and quaint. We have learned to live with a mix of the two.
