I have a sewing friend that has never made a quilt.

I, too, would suggest something easy like sewing a bunch of 5" charms together.
Also, a Double Slice Layer Cake patter is easy peasy.
And a Disappearing Nine Patch.
Basically a quilt where she doesn't have to match seams or cut any triangles.

If she'd like to get signatures at the reunion, she could try this kind of easy quilt. Borders with a large print work really well with this.

I'll add my vote for the Double Slice Layer Cake. Super easy and no seams to match. It's actually easier than a simple block quilt, because those have to have seams matched and have thicker intersections to quilt.

I think the fabric could be the key. If you found one that she loves and is related to her subject in mind, a simple pattern like a warm wishes would be fun and cute. It is very doable for a beginning quilter.
