I'm another who thinks you should further question the intended recipient. If she is not a quilter and is not familiar with quilt trends, then the term "bohemian quilt" might mean something entirely different to her.
When my SIL got married, she was asked what colors she wanted in her wedding quilt. She replied "earth tones". In her mind, earth tones meant blues, greens, grays, soft taupes and browns, etc. However, to the quilter who made the quilt, "earth tones" meant green, chocolate brown, orange, yellow, and fuchsia. The resulting quilt didn't see the light of day for 25 years, and both parties were very disappointed.
Please, get clarification.

Here are some to get ideas: https://www.pinterest.com/explore/bohemian-quilt/
Definitely ask what colors/prints she is thinking of.

I immediately thought of a big bursting exploding star (a bit loose not tight like a medallion). Burnt reds and earthtones in the 'star' blending into blues of the sky. Perhaps if you took a hunter's and used more blending colors so the edges did not seem so sharp.....I see the need to get out my colored pencils and start playing around.......
