I'd made my wonderful granddaughter a quilt with many "hot" colors in it - her favorites being hot pink, vivid orange, and cool lime - it turned out beautiful in spite of blinding me - lol
Next my grandson came to me - "Grandma? Could you make me a quilt with racecars on it?" So, the next Christmas he got his race car quilt - in mostly reds, and I did the picket fence border with the colors of the flags in racing - (black and white checkered, green, red, yellow, white) and it turned out beautiful - he treasures it - he is also a High School Musical movie nut - (he's only 9) and my SIL had made a quilt with that fabric as a give away to the needy - and I spied it - and commented on it that my grandson would just love it! She allowed me to buy it from her for what she had in it - wow! She would not let me give her more - so he got that one also - and he about dropped when he got it - he threw it around himself and we cuddled the whole weekend with it.... it is not quite a twin size - but a large throw.
I've been showing and helping my 13 year old granddaughter to hand sew a table topper for her bedroom out of like fabric in her quilt - so then she can say she made something for her ensemble also.
