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?
You make a Great Point here. We should figure out what the recipient would *like* before we spend $$$ and hours making something for them. Thank you
