what Lisa said!!!!!

i'll be your sister!!!!!!!!!!!!!! those fabrics are beautiful!!!!

I would make the quilt and if she still doesn't like it, I would keep it or donate it to a charity. When I think of Country, I think of Thimbleberries' fabrics.

Applique some chickens on the squares. Would that be country enough for her? Nothing like being specific....country. What does that mean, fence posts? Horses? Bluegrass guitars?

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 think this is the best solution. Make the r/b/w one for yourself!

Very pretty fabric!

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 agree with making her a scrappy quilt, maybe with mostly red white and black and others mixed in?

Agreed. When I first read "floral", I was a little concerned, but it isn't a what I'd consider to be a girly floral at all and the fabrics work wonderfully together.

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.
