If you are donating to children/young adults, do things for boys and men. Most quilters are women, and we just love flowery prints. The guys? Not so much. There are more boys in NICUs, more boys in foster care, more boys aging out of foster care, but not so many quilts for them. And graphic prints for young folks (under 35-40). Bright colors or muted, but graphic, modern prints go over better than flowers.
