They may have suggestions for you regarding size, construction of the quilt, etc. Some quilts can be extended to cover the shoulders and there is a possibility that they might like to receive some of the busy quilts which are made with aippers, pockets, etc for dementia patients. Following your visit with personal from the home it seems like it would be a simple matter to go ahead and make whatever combination of prints you chose to make the dimensions of the quilt. Backing could be pieced in such a manner that it could be used reversible if they so desire. What kind of batting do they prefer between the layers of material? If you stop and ask a few questions before you start your project will be much more successful. Keep nots regarding your project and you will have it for reference should you be asked to make additional quilts. These are just a few things that come to mind as you begin your project. Have fun!
