Ah, so the bride's mother is your SIL and the quilt is a throw size, not a formal 'marriage quilt' affair. I certainly think that gives you more freedom to put more of yourself into it, but I'd probably still err on the conservative side just to be safe. I'm sure you'll do just fine whatever you decide.
