Depending on the size of your wall quilt, mine are never huge she wont need to bring back much. Tell her to pick a focal fabric (maybe an elephant design?) and then a mix of whatever appeals to her. You can whip up something that makes it a memory for her. Even if you have to add something from your stash here. My mom brought back some beige batik types so red went super with hers.. the beige, black and red.. the weight was very light weight and the cotton was extremely soft. It went on a wall so we didnt experience the not wearing great concept.. she also may not want to carry tons of fabric back as much as you would love her to do so.. so let her decide. No pressure and she can enjoy her trip too. In the mean time go searching for a few african style wall hangings for inspiration. Google images? I am sure it will be cool and we look forward to seeing your goodies when she gets back. Tell her to hurry up already we are waiting!
