I would square the blocks if they were mine. If the material seems fragile is any way, you can stabilize them using iron-on interfacing. Add some sashing and borders using colors your neighbor likes. You can get clues from her home and her clothes. You should be able to make at least a large lap size quilt. They are beautiful.
