I made my own grandmother a beautiful quilt and some one stole it from her room. To this day I think it was one of the staff people who worked there. Also make sure you or your MIL take it home to be washed, do not let the nursing home take it to their laundry service. Good Luck to you on this wonderful gift for her.
Yes, my aunt who had no memory problems had her quilt stolen. One of her friends came in and threatened a law suit and miraculously the quilt reappeared. If I were you, I would just make a very simple one. All that matters is that it's soft and made with love. Anything more and it's too tempting for sticky fingers.
