Color choices an pattern hint that your sister likes simple designs. I would quilt this to bring out the star design.
choose the batting carefully; one that will not need to be quilted densely. Stitch along all the seam lines so design elements puff up. You could also echo quilt in the white/background areas to be sure the batting won't bunch-up when quilt is washed. Also, be sure to tell the owner that the quilt should be washed cold water, gentle cycle in big load machiine at laundrymat, dry on low heat. It is worth the laundrymat cost, trust me. This can be done on your home sewing machine! I suggest using basting spray and safety pins to hold the "sandwich" together for quilting, and take your time. GOOD LUCK.
