When I belonged to a guilt guild we made "charity" quilts for "David's House" - the equivalent of a Ronald McDonald House for the children at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock, Medical Center, Lebanon, NH. Because my friends knew I did they - they graciously gave me the outdated fabric that they had used for church fair projects. Well, one of the pieces was a mustard gold and red calico print. I decided to go ahead and face the challenge, when I found coordinating fabric in my stash. I forget the pattern I used, but when the colors began to give me a headache, I quit - winding up with a small crib-size quilt. I was surprised when a month or two later pictures came in with the children and the quilts they had chosen and there was the "ugly colored" quilt. Someone obviously loved the colors - so you never know what people will like. Wall colors can change frequently, so make the quilt in color more subdued. I'm sure they will like whatever you make.
