well said, Bear. I think as quilters we tend to automatically think "Quilt" when a gift is needed. It doesn't always fit. I visited a friend and two family members on a trip recently and was struck by how each had their own decorating style. One had fine antiques, Oriental rugs, Rose Medallion vases, etc. One was very modern, neutral colors, clean, uncluttered style, and one was country casual/English antiques.
As opposed to my style which is Early Thrift Shop/Shabby Chic. Anything fits in if I like it!!
