any suggestion would be appreciated, Thanks i told her i will let her know later to day.

Definitely charge for the fabric/thread. As for pattern you could use the same pattern that is used with toe Downy QFK quilts. It's just a 4-patch alternated with a block. You can get the free pattern on the website. Then it will be quick and easy. I have made quite a few of them and they go really fast. Then you just need to charge for your time. I would probably would only add an additional $20 for my time if I used this pattern...it's that easy and it is family. That's just my opinion.

I was told, with most 'hand made' items, to at least charge 3 times the cost of your materials. Sometimes that seems like a lot to me, but then, again, you have to pay yourself for your time too!

Be prepared for the person to have "sticker shock"

I think they expect to get something for the same price they would pay for a "quilt" at WalMart or JC Penney

I made a Grandmother Fan quilt, trimmed with a wide 4 inch lace, charged $90 and they were happy with that. I gave the price before I started. To me it was high, I didn't really want to do it, but guess they could afford it!
