Which one?

I sure do like those flowers. It really makes the quilt pop. However, I agree with others on what the recipient would like. If she is a child, definitely flowers.
edit: The flowers will certainly brighten up the nursing home. The quilting will perk up the first one and look very nice in her room. Either one will be totally appreciated. It will be such a beautiful gift!!

Not a guarantee but incorporate her name/initials in the quilting and have the label sewn on before quilting so that it too is quilted down. Also make sure that you have a picture of it to show around if it goes on the missing list.

Actually I would go one step further and applique her name right on the front of the quilt.
Perhaps one of the corner blocks?
Perhaps there are some other significant things that could go in the other corners as well?
Date of birth? Marriage Date? Husband's name? Kids names? Grands?
With only mild/moderate dementia, these might be good reminders for her,
or give visitors things to discuss with her.
The flowers definitely make the quilt look more interesting.
Plus they make it look like you put more time, care, effort and love into making it.
Yes, as you can tell I am voting for the floral version!
Good thought .... you may want to make sure that they are well stitched in place, as sadly dementia patients often are "pickers" and could soon have the flowers picked right off!
