Because adolescence is discovering oneself, interests change quickly. A few discover quickly and stick with it. For most by the time I finish the quilt, they’re no longer interested in the subject.
Another issue is many heros are not worth making idols: Sheldon and Star Wars. It’s cute and we laugh at Sheldon for his passion that might be inappropriate at his age. Maybe that’s where he escapes. Or maybe I just don’t get it.
I’d rather make quilts about nature or abstract.
