I have a notebook with "questionnaires" on my family members that I would want to quilt for. I have their favorite colors, likes and dislikes, etc., so that when I get ready to make them a quilt or throw, I'll be in the ballpark of what they like. I also have a "return one time" policy. I ask if it's really not what they want, that they work with me to get one they'll like and return the first one. Nobody's returned one yet, and they all say they like them.
