Hmmm. What does she mean by 'country'? Can you keep your eyes open for a plaid or stripe that would support these fabrics?
Or, should you keep this one for yourself and make her a scrappy quilt? Maybe that would be more 'country'?

Why not make a quilt from the fabric as a gift for someone else; and get her the type of fabric she likes or else it will end up in the back of her closet. I have found over the years that our creativity is in choosing what to make whether for ouselves or someone else. That is why "custom" sewing is a PITA. People have no idea how much time and work goes into something. I make up quilted handbags and small quilts/wallhangings, etc. of what I think is beautiful. If people buy my taste, fine. If not, that's fine too. You will drive yourself crazy trying to please people ... especially relatives. Been there done that.

I love the fabric.
If she wants skulls - I have seen it entered into the ugly material contest- maybe everyone with skulls they do not like can PIF it to you so you can keep the lovely red/black one and make an ugly skull one for her. ( Laughing out loud)!

I am getting the impression, maybe wrongly, that country, in the sister's context, has more to do with a country music feel - hence the cowboy fabric references, than what most of us would mean by country in a quilting sense.
