We have hosted several exchange students. I made them quilts to take home. My first gril like green and pink. I made a log cabin block quilt in the two colors. I also had some fabric that was printed US Flag I put on the back. My next students I made 9 patch quilts of their favorite colors or let them pick a pattern. One girl could not decide. I made her a quilt with the school colors here. (Black and Orange) with the school initials appliqued. She love the quilt too. I hope this will give you some ideas. Sky blue and orange in different shades as a log cabin would be a really neat quilt. Good luck.
