It all depends on the receivers. When I made my biscuit quilt my neices LOVED and wanted it. Then when I was working on my cathederal window quilt they were begging for that one. If you can find out what colors and interests they like, you could incorporate those into to any quilt even traditional. Are you able to let the girl/girls help you pick out their own fabrics and pattern? The more involved they can become the more they will love and appreciate it. My son helped me pick out a pattern and fabric for his quilt and he still wants that one over all my others. You really can't put all teenagers in the same catagory. Some will like traditional and others contemporary. Some will love pink, for instance, and others hate it.
