I agree that I don't think it has to be pink. You could always embroider the crossed pink ribbon symbol (small in size) on the quilt if you wanted it on there. I have also seen some of the pink ribbon printed fabric somewhere, but can't recall where just now if you wanted to add it in a block or a piece on the back. Otherwise I would just go for a nice comforting quilt--a lap size might be nice because I think chemo patients are often cold, especially during infusion, and it might be nice to use during that.
