Yep, I guess that could go both ways. I LOVE pinks and Purples, flowers and pretty, however my DD doesnt at all. She loves dark reds, burgundy and plaids. I just wouldnt be able to make her something I think is "pretty"!
For my Boyfriend last year I made a flannel backed blujeans quilt. Had lost my job, not much money coming in. He loves it, lol, but its a rag quilt, so he calls it "the unfinished quilt" because of the edges. Always teases me about that!
