Sometimes non-quilters and/or young people have no concept of how nice a scrappy quilt can look. Make one anyway, show it to her and then tell her.... too bad you said you didn't want it. Maybe she'll change her mind!
My daughter and I like different kinds of quilts. Scrappy is not her thing and I respect that. She honestly told me once I had wasted a good piece of toile I had used for the backing of a scrappy. And when she really likes a quilt I make she also honestly tells me what she likes about it. When she comes to visit she still sleeps under several scrap quilts! :)
