When my nephew was graduating high school and getting ready to go off to college, I made him a quilt for his dorm. He likes blues and greens (very calming colors) so I did a snail's trail in those colors for him. He loved it. He told me it kept his bones warm at night--LOL (He is a very thin young man and he was going to a slightly cooler climate than his Central Texas home and I didn't want him to be cold)
