Absolutely agree with runninL8 & Jackie Spencer. The quilt is for them, and while its not something you would do, I'd stick with the 10" blocks, and let the fabrics speak for themselves. Do different machine quilting in each block like it shows in the picture, and maybe do a small cuddle quilt using some of those fabrics in a quilt YOU would like to 'broaden her horizons'. Don't know about you, but the older I got the more I learned to appreciate new (to me) things!
