Wow. I really wasn't expecting this to get 171 replies, but that's awesome!

After some thought, I think I will quilt for teenagers. From what you've guys have told me a lot of people quilt for soldiers, veterns, and little kids, but not a whole lot for teenagers. And I realized I have quilt designs that I never made for anyone. Designs like:

"Ninja Star"

"Tsunami"

"Harley Quinn"

"Basket Chain"

So I figure why not make them for the "older kids".

I find that the teenagers are left out too so I am inclined to make them, one of my favourite quicky ones are to scour the Charity shops, I know quite a few ladies who work in them and they give me the heads up, and I buy all the football themed duvets.

I then split them in two, layer with batting and a fun backing and quilt, the boys love them. It works the same for girls with the right duvets.

Good designs. Those are right for your "target". Yes, I am sure teens get less than ano\yone else.
