I'd go with winter. Still can be used at Christmas but can be used more months.

I totally agree. Autumn colors are beautiful year round. My niece chose autumn colors for their new baby's room, it looks awesome!
My guild makes about 650 community quilts a year. Some are made larger, intended for fundraisers for non-profits. Verrrrry few are Christmas- or holiday-themed as it limits interest. Chickens now...that's another story! LOL!
