When we are making a quilt for someone, we should always need to put lots of love and thought into it. We are doing it to see their face light up when they see it, to give them something they will truly appreciate.

Its no small thing to start a quilt for someone either! You’re saying ‘I know you well, i care about you and you’re going to love this ‘

So to make certain your quilt is a success and not a flop there are a few questions you ought to be asking.

What is their favourite color?

This is always a great place to begin. I am a big fan of green. I have got a green quilt, but if somebody made me another one, I’d still be excited as I just love the relaxing effect the color has on me. The individual you are making the quilt for will have a favorite colour. If you don’t know what it is, you must find out.

Will this blend in with the rest of their decor?

When you’re making or buying a quilt for your room, one of the first, and most critical things you can think about is the decor and colour of the room. If you had a room that featured cream and peach colors, you would not be thinking of a green quilt design – this would clash badly with the colours.

By thinking about what colours their room decor is, you can make a quilt that will fit perfectly and perhaps even draw the room together.

Believe me, this will not go unnoticed and they will actually appreciate the efforts you went to, to make certain everything was perfect.

What size is the bed will this be going on?

This is a big one, one thing that should be answered before you even start. It might be very embarrassing to find that your quilt is too small for the bed it was intended. An easy check will prevent this from occuring

You might even find that it would be better to go on their couch, or even used in the lounge room for those cold winter nights. If this is the case, you must re-evaluate what size and shape would work the best for this.

By answering a few of these basic questions, you will avoid some of the easy to make mistakes.
