IMHO, I would not use the symbol for cancer. (You gotta go through it to understand why.) If she's a "feminine" type, make something nice and pretty in her favorite colors If she prefers tailored things, there are nice patterns for that too. I suggest Warm Wishes. I made a D9P with a paisley print for the focus fabric. She loved it. She was tiny so I made it to fit her size on the "chemo chair."
And Suze, I love your quilt.
