They tend to like darker colors, a limited palette, strongly graphic piecing design. Generally speaking, they like solids or fabrics that read as solids as opposed to a strong print.
Same here. My 20-year-old son liked a zigzag quilt I made so much, he asked for it. I was surprised because it's mostly pastels, including peaches and pinks. But he liked it, so I gave it to him!
My husband is the same way. He prefers the design of the quilt over the print of the fabric. I'm thankful for this; I've never been much into novelty prints.
