My next door neighbor is always making quilts for family members - lots of age groups too. She typically uses the Turning 20 scrap pattern. It works up pretty fast with nice variety of colors. As mentioned, ask her for 2-3 colors she likes.

Colors in bright batons or a quilt made with black and white with one other color like bright blue or bright red. Then you can use a simple pattern and the fabrics will make they quilt. My grand daughter loved one I made that was si
Ple blocks with batons when she was ten. Then at twelve she wanted one with black and white fabrics with splashes if red. On that one we put minkie on the back and she loved it.

Maybe have her help you pick out the fabrics and then let you do the quilt. I am doing that for a 92 year old friend soon.........she'll help me pick out fabric she likes and I'll come up with a pattern and make it. I'm clueless what a particular 12 year old or 92 year old would love....lol
