I gave my cousin a throw for Christmas last year. When we would go shopping, she always looked for shades of purple for her clothing. And she always looked for a particular shade a green when we were looking for pottery. So I made a quilt of half triangles of shades of greens and purples with creams. She loved it! Now, I am thinking I ought to email all my sisters and cousins what colors they lean to for future Christmases!!
