Debbie Mumm has several beautiful designs, featuring country animals. The book, I have, is "Quick Country Quilting." Some of the projects are wall hangings but could easily be turned into larger quilts, by adding another row of blocks.
Here's what the cover looks like-

A friend is making a quilt for her grandaughter that shows pigs in 4-H.
It looks like paper piecing, but it's not. If you could find farm animal squares to make and vary them throughout the quilt, that might work. Then back it with some tractor fabric.
OR, you could make a barn in the middle and surround it with critters.
Let us know what you end up making.

I like the idea given by HillCountryGal......barn as the center block and build around it.
You could use photos for some of the blocks...perhaps some photos of her animals.....if you can get them.
Another idea is to use Attic Window blocks with farm scenes for the center of the 'window'.
I'm sure you'll get lots of other ideas.
Let us know what you decide. It should be an interesting project.
