First, I would never make a quilt for someone unless they asked me specifically and told me what they wanted. It is way too much money and too much of my precious time to give to someone who would not appreciate it. If I was ever given a quilt that did not meet my taste, I would accept it, tell the giver it is very much appreciated and I would use it. My son loves to cuddle up with anything warm and he does not care if it matches nor do I. If the giver thought enough of me to make it and gift it, then I darn well will use it and enjoy it.
