I think giving a quilt as a gift is "iffy". my mom gave me one years ago that has nothing to do with my style or color scheme of anything. I put it on the bed when she comes over. Also, many people today do not like the "Amish look", or the old fashioned look of most anything. They rather have a something in style. Unless you know the person very well and know their decorating style and color scheme, anything other than a small quilt for naps is taking a chance. I am making quilts for my grandkids. I would like to make one that reminds them of their interests as a child, then hopefully, one for when they are older in muted earth tones that will go with any decor. Table runners would be good, too, with a Holiday theme. Just my thoughts
