I agree with Jan. It will be hard enough to get it all done by the due date. If she doesn't love it, you will be so disappointed. I like the idea of sending her some pics and letting her figure out what she likes/dislikes. Patchwork can mean so many things. Have you visited her enough to know her decor and tastes? If not, how can you figure out what she wants? Especially since she obviously expects something she has in her mind. She likely has no idea that such a simple phrase could throw a dozen quilters into a tizzy of a discussion.
