However, I agree completely with the above comment. Avoid pink altogether unless she has a particular passion for pink. I, along with other breast cancer patients, do not want a constant reminder in a quilt of my bout with cancer. I would much prefer something in the colors I like, or perhaps a scrap quilt that makes me feel good when I look at it. That is my preference, and I have heard others express the same sentiment. But your loving gesture will be much appreciated, I'm sure.
