My husband's niece (his brother's daughter) is getting married next fall. I would like to make a quilt for her as a wedding gift. I don't have a relationship with her really, thus I do not know her likes, dislikes, etc. I know that she appreciates anything handmade. I have made her pocktebooks and bags for various gifts in the past. So for this quilt, where do I start? Colors, designs, size, etc.?? I am thinking a lap/couch quilt rather than one for her bed. I am going back and forth from traditional to modern. I do not want to do a wedding ring quilt. Too hard. And I don' t want to do a hanging quilt. They may not have the wall space or want to hang something. I HAVE googled and searched pinterest. But you all always come up with great ideas too! What do you make when you have no idea of what someone likes for colors and designs? Thanks.
