Why not make a quilt from the fabric as a gift for someone else; and get her the type of fabric she likes or else it will end up in the back of her closet. I have found over the years that our creativity is in choosing what to make whether for ouselves or someone else. That is why "custom" sewing is a PITA. People have no idea how much time and work goes into something. I make up quilted handbags and small quilts/wallhangings, etc. of what I think is beautiful. If people buy my taste, fine. If not, that's fine too. You will drive yourself crazy trying to please people ... especially relatives. Been there done that.
