She could use Pot holder patterns too or Crazy patch style .. Google : Mug Rugs.. Pinterest has many more... Another idea to make some for children is to use bigger pictures from Children's Coloring books as the patterns for piecing animals, shapes etc.. check out PaperbackSwap or Amazon too
While you are near a Library see if they have any books.. Applique Flowers onto plain Backgrounds... or other shapes or pictures from fabric. Use Pillows as inspiration. all sorts of Holiday Patterns etc..
