My 35 yr old son has never been excited about the quilts I've made, so I never made any for him. But one time I finished a watercolor wall hanging for a friend, and he actually said that he really liked it and wouldn't mind having a quilt like that. What I realized is that it wasn't a quilt he resisted, it was the traditional patterns. When I showed him pictures of patterns that were more 'modern' he really liked them. I wonder if this is the case for others who don't get excited by quilts?
