Personally, I would prefer a comfort quilt to a memory quilt. I'm sure the fact that her mom committed sucicide as a result of fighting a lifetime of depression is something she is not going to want to be reminded of. Rather than put many welll meaning hours into a memory quilt that might get shoved in a closet, why not make the comfort quilt that she will cherish. She will remember your thoughtfullness for years to come. How she decides to remember her MOM should be left up to her-it probably is going to be quite a difficult and painful process.
