Bottom line: make it big enough to cover from head to toe and tuck under everywhere, use flannel backing instead of batting (to keep it warm and soft, but lightweight for carrying to sessions), be sure her name is on it to prevent loss/theft, possibly include a carrying tote big enough for the quilt as well as some reading material/charts.
My quilt was made from Moda Charms (Wildflowers IV) and coordinating fabrics. I used a blue sky flannel on the back.

Such an awesome job on an absolutely beautiful quilt. You are very artistic, and your sister will feel all the love you put into it. I love the colors, fabric, pattern for the quilt and the overall effect. The label says a lot, too. Bless you and your sister.
