As a interior designer I make quilts I gift that go with the color's that go well with the rooms they will be used in. The ones I just make for the enjoyment of quilting I use the colors I think looks best with the pattern. Someone always just loves it and I give it to them. But for myself I never have got to keep but one and it goes with my colors in my bedroom. I am going to make one for my extra bedroom that I will have to change the colors in the room to match the quilt.
