I tend to agree about keeping the talk about a simple subject matter. Perhaps, since they do not quilt, make it about today's quilting and do not get into the old time quilting. You see, many people who don't quilt would be bored silly with that many facts. Make it about your need to give a colorful handmade gift that is intended to make the recipient feel loved and special. Very few gifts have this effect on people. Ours is not a frugal society, it is a creative gift of love. Everyone is so fast paced and homogenized. This is something you took the time to think about them, their favorite colors and style. Some thing comfortable, safe and accepting.
