Hi Lynnie,
Are there any family members you could ask about her tastes? I do think it best to try to find out what they would like before you go to the time and expense of making a quilt if possible. But if that isn't possible, my choice would be to make a modern, neutral quilt for a younger person her age. This is the one I made for my daughter when she got married last year and it seemed to work well for them. It is called Whispered Lace and in the book called Modern Neutrals by Amy Ellis. It is easy and is my "to go" gift quilt pattern.
