Oh, Thank you all for so many good suggestions. This sounds like a good one. I plan to take my sister shopping in my stash, take her to a LQS, offer her the pattern suggestions you all have shared and JUST DO IT!
At this point, I am leaning toward log cabin, rail fence and irish chain. I will leave it up to her. As for the great suggestions for the quilting, I must admit that that is my weakest point! I usually do the least possible, by hand, machine or even (gasp) ties.
