I love it Barb, but then too I'm a guy so what do I know? HA!
One of the first things I read on quilting advised that if you make a quilt for a friend you don't let them pick the fabric or design (maybe the colors if you are feeling generous). The point being you quilt, they don't, and often times what someone wants is either impractical or uninspiring to the quilter. Heck, look at our group here, honestly would you like to 'work' on everything you've seen, even if you enjoy the finished quilt?
You've a lucky friend who's getting a heck of a nice quilt, and if she doesn't like it I'll give you my address! :wink:
