    The Jelly Roll 1600 quilt goes together quickly. No cutting. I would choose bright colorful colors to cheer her up.
    The colors you listed look like they would remind her of death instead of living...
    Theres a large assortment of jelly rolls available to choose from.

    How about Cocouts by The Peaceful Quilter ! It is rich looking and easy to put together, you could randomly add the gold. I made two of these for Christmas gifts, and both were well received...... It was a kit (You could make 2 for a larger quilt!

I am making mine with 216 squares of each, cut the 2-1/2 into triangles and sew them to the 4-1/2x 2-1/2. It will be about 52x80 (give or take) and makes a lovely throw. All you need is two colors - a background and whatever you want for the triangles. Edie
    Edie ... I was intrigued with your description and went to check it out. Although I cannot find Floating Stars at Quilters Cache. Is it by another name? Or perhaps not at QC but somewhere else?

    Could you please provide a link so I and others can take a look?
    Thank you!

    It uses fat quarters, and you can easily complete the top in a day. Here's a crib size picture.
