Beautiful! I am working on a quilt for me, finally! What I would love to do someday is embroider pictures of all the dogs I have owned and make it into a wall hanging. Don't have an embroidery machine.

Some ideas....
Birds and/or flowers would make nice quilts.
If someone likes sports maybe team mascots/logos for the league they like.
Snowflakes for winter quilt or christmas quilt.
Sea creatures.
Different types of Leaves- shades of green, or autumn colors.

I did a Hummel quilt that was embroidered for my mom. She went into a care facility and couldn't take her Hummels, that she collected, so I made it so she would have Hummels with her. She passed away in May and my dad has it hanging now.
