a Sampler would be nice, but any traditional blocks would be nice. Would sure set down with her about colors and what she is thinking.....country to some one thing, others, something totality different.

It would be a great idea to pick out a couple of country patterns and have her pick one out and I would also take her to the fabric store to pick out her own shades unless you would like to surprise her with the pattern and shades.

Have a look at this site:

They have a "tour" of the different quilts, it's a great way to see different patterns, and even how different the same pattern looks with different fabric treatments. And they are all "country" style.
