I think DWR quilts are gorgeous and would be nice to have as a gift and maybe the colors you put in now wouldn't be to out of style. I also think it's a good idea to ask them what they might like or a color that they think they would like. It's hard with colors since I know myself the new colors come out and you love them so asking is nice idea. I still have my Cedar Chest as it was called when I got mine and I"m 68 so they always change even what they're called. Good luck and it's so nice of you to wonder what they might like. Sue
