Everyones vision of a quilt is so different....I would strongly suggest they go on line, do a goggle of quilt patterns and have them do a search and find....what we think and know is certainlly not the same to young people these days....we may know that this pattern or that pattern (like a crazy quilt or a wedding ring) goes way back, but thay may prefer a Mariners compus or log cabin.....there are so many, many, many patterns I would think you would have more success at pleasing them if they choose, ask for perhaps three choices of patterns, as we know some are harder than others...... Personally either a wedding ring (hard and time consuming) or a simple old log cabin (easy and quick) would work for vintage....maybe in feedsack retro fabric......IMHO
