I have learned from quilting with my monsters tha go with what they want. They will stay interested in quilting and sewing. I have five of them and they know what they want and not happy if i try to change their minds lol. Trust me I'm putting pin up fabric on the back of our 13 year olds quilt because that's what he wants. I told him that he will catch it from every woman about his quilt lol and they will want it to stay in a closet and they will say you were how old and your mother did that? Anyway, it's tasteful but just know your not alone and go with it!
