All kids are different except for the fact that most of them appreciate it when you make something special for them. My daughter (22) loves batik fabric but I just made the trip around the world quilt in patriotic fabrics and she's been telling everyone since then that it is hers. She wants to put in in her living room when (ha, ha) she gets her own place. I try to go with their favorite colors; one likes greens the other yellows and even my 4month old granddaughter has just recently let us know by her actions that she likes blue. If it's made with love you can't go wrong.
