I'm a survivor too and I also nix the idea of pink ribbons or any BC designs and pink in general. Make her something that she can use in her home after treatment. Also, the chemo kills off all the good cells as well as the bad. So if she is hasn't gone through menopause the chemo will put her into it. Instant menopause is what I called it, the hot flashes hit with a vengeance. So maybe take that into consideration when making a "warm" quilt. My friend made me a quilt in my favorite colors and 12 years later I still have it in my chair in my sewing room.
