i think a chain pattern with one or two of the links missing would be appropriate. 8)

here's one that an article talks about, part of an exhibit and it's called "the Fractured Wedding Ring- A Divorce Quilt"

LOL! That's hilarious.

Actually, I would not make a quilt to memorialize an unhappy event. Instead, make one that features her favorite things in life.
