I always let my grandkids and kids pick their colors. The oldest DGD picked pink kitties when she was 4 or 5. Then at 12 or 13 it was aqua and brown. Recently she asked me if I would like to make her another quilt to watch TV with ... this one is purple and aqua. She has a long way to go as she is only 15. But I love doing the quilts. In fact all 4 of the DGDs love picking out their different colors
