I would make it only if I knew she would keep it and use it. If not, all the time and money you put in it would be wasted because she wouldn't use it. And you will end up with hurt feelings if you know she gave it away.

[quote=Ripped on Scotch]If you cut it up enough she'll never really know that its flowers. I wouldnt worry about it plus if She doens't like it you can always keep it for yourself.
I agree with Ripped on Scotch - if you cut it up the flowers won't be recognized. I did this for a quilt for my BIL and even I didn't recognize some of the designs (wich was good because I was using material I really didn't care for but was given to me and free is usable too).

Eagerbeez....mayeb she is like me....I have a problem looking at fabric (I don't care for a lot of flowers either)...the fabric will look different once it is cut/pieced together and complete. My mom has made my family some wonderful quilts and I think every single one has a flower print in it...but looking at the finished product is totally different than look at a yard of fabric.
I say make the quilt...let her see the finished product...if she doesn't like it, keep it for yourself or give it to another family member you know would appreciate it. :)

Why work on something that is going to be received in such a manner it will hurt your feelings and ruin your pleasure in the giving. If she is, as DH says, critical of everything you do, you need to pull up your big girl panties and just say NO. No one can take advantage of you without your permission.
