Sounds like she wants a bed spread.
I have a 10' frame. I did an over size king for my cousin. We did the 'body' of the quilt in one section, from the top to the bottom, then did two strips for the sides. She then squared everything and joined the two side sections to the main piece using a QAYG method. I guess it wasn't too bad because the main part of the quilt was off to the left and the only portion she had in the harp was the skinny side section.
Another alternative is to do a smaller quilt with a matching dust ruffle. Doesn't have to be a ruffle, you can do a straight one with pleats in the corners.
