I know it's early to be thinking about Christmas, but I need opinions!!
I just finished my first quilting class, and now I know how to make quilted pillows.
My question is: would you like a hand made quilted pillow as a Christmas gift? Of course I don't know everyone's decor, so I would make them in Christmas/winter fabric so that they would be used as Christmas or Hanukkah decorations. They would be burgandy, pine green, gold, and other rich colors so that they are not too bright and would compliment any holiday decor (and for my parents a nice blue and white for Hanukkah)
There are a bunch of people that we buy food baskets for each year and I thought this might be a nice change for them to receive something I made.
Do you like this idea?

I would love it! I have a quilt that a friend from grad school made for me about 7 years ago, and every time I use it I think of her. It matched my decor back then, and doesn't really now, but I still love that she took the time to think of me and to make it.
eta: Where did you learn how to quilt? I've been wanting to take a class for years.

I am a guy and I would enjoy it. We got a nice blanket from our MIL last winter. We used to keep it behind our futon when we were in the apartment and it was definately awesome.

Hey, thanks everyone! I have to finish up my first pillow this weekend and see how it comes out.
I just took an introductory 2 day class at a quilting store in MD where I live. I think I'm going to take another class in February, but until then I think making pillows will make nice gifts and also keep me in practice.

For the average person, I think a holiday pillow is a nice idea. For me, I love quilts, so I would even like one that I could keep out year round that went with my livingroom or bedroom colors.
