I have made my son two quilts, a lap and a bed(twin) size. The bed is purples (his favorite color) and the lap is RW&B stars with snowballs between. I made my grandson a lap and am working on a twin size for him using the pattern eye of the storm. Both of them love getting my quilts.
My sis made her son a tie quilt--he collected the ties. She made her husband a RW&B quilt and is finishing up one that shows his military career.
