You could make this a sampler and pick blocks that would describe the couple. I see you are from Illinois, "Illinois roads", "Lincoln's Platform", a block about the Prairie all come to mind. My SIL is in marketing so Market to Market was used in theirs as well as a "Wedding Bouquet" block. And all the fabric lines suggested are great.

Your avatar is a block that I have been wanting to make. I've seen a photo but do not know what it's called. Can you tell me what it is and where I can get it? Thanks, kitty

I would bet she means scrappy. Show her some pics and see which way she leans

I would check with her about what she means by country. she might mean certain style like scrappy, or tranditional patterns, or she might mean certain colors. Perhaps planning it together might be fun.

I created a country/wilderness quilt for my daughter. I used log cabin, maple leaves, pine trees, and others to file it in.

(Hopeful my picture will come through.)

Maybe an old Mennonite or Amish pattern, Bears Pay, Goose Tracks, Delectable Mountains?

I agree with Log Cabin, If I'm not mistaken the middle square of the log cabin is for the "Hearth" of the home, I think the log cabin symbolizes the home really well.
