Eagerbeez....mayeb she is like me....I have a problem looking at fabric (I don't care for a lot of flowers either)...the fabric will look different once it is cut/pieced together and complete. My mom has made my family some wonderful quilts and I think every single one has a flower print in it...but looking at the finished product is totally different than look at a yard of fabric.
I say make the quilt...let her see the finished product...if she doesn't like it, keep it for yourself or give it to another family member you know would appreciate it. :)
