I think that a bargello inside of another quilt would be wonderful. you do the bargello in batiks of pale colors and you have white on the bottom and blue gray on the top with a sun in the corner and maybe a tree or two depending on the location you guys are in. I would also do snowflakes in applic like the post in the pics section (can't remember who posted it) but the snow flakes are done in the peoples name. that would be really personal to them and they would feel really appreciated. just my two cents. it will be beautiful whatever you decide to do.
