If you were my Granny....
#1
...which would you prefer? :lol:
I wanted to make a quilt for my Granny for Christmas, but time just didn't allow it and I didn't even have the chance to get it started, and bought her something. So I'm going to make one now, and give it to her "just because". But I'm stuck. Granny is 78 and I'm sure she would love anything I made just because I made it for her...but I have too many options and don't know what to do. LOL
I'm making a single irish chain lap quilt. Traditionally, they seem to be just two contrasting colours...Below are my options. One of them is a collection of coordinating FQ's I have that I'd use either each in separate 9P's or all of them in one...I don't know...

I like the FQ's in the last picture best. They seem to fit what I would think an grandmother would appreciate more.
I love that you're going to give it to her "just because" and you already know she will love what ever you make for her.

I think the last ones are too dark - a granny needs something light & airy!

But yes, the curly grey matches Granny too! And light and airy is exactly why I picked the first two out...they give me a more "relaxed" kind of feeling. More subtle contrast.
