Barb, I would get one of Eleanor Burns books that are real easy and pick a pattern from that. I would also use Blues and white for color. I know when we sold quilts in our shop (several yrs ago) the blue and white ones were the first to go. Esecially since you are going to make a queen size which most people would use in their bedrooms. Good Luck and how very nice of you to do this. Marge
