I would tell her you have given her quilt much thought and just to be sure you asked some of your friends who quilt. BUT, don't mention possible health problems. Copy a few of the answers from the board then suggest a change and offer to help so she doesn't become over whelmed with the project. Maybe over a cup of tea and a chat you will be able to find out about why she was sick. Could be a medication, could be age, do family members understand that she may be having problems. Does she need a little extra attention where family may want to check in on her more.
You sound like a very nice caring neighbor. Just go slow and I am sure she will be so happy for your help and friendship.

If I knew how to do all the cute little faces that the ladies occasionally put with their postings, I would add the one with the angel halo for you on this thing you have done for your neighbor. I read it from beginning to end, and went from hoping you would help, to seeing that you did help with some difficulty, and giving it back to her. It seems she did appreciate it, and we all know the recipients will appreciate it in its perfect/not quite perfect shape. Love you for doing this. You sound like a good neighbor, with no charges for insurance coverage here.....

I agree see if she will let you fix it. That just what shes waiting to hear

Your are very thoughtful to notice she had a problem and so kind to help her with it. If we all had friends like you, life would be easier. You may not know it, but you are special for being that kind of person.

You are a gem to help her out

You are so correct. My Dad died of COPD and was on oxygen for 6 yrs (the last 2 via a transtracia-meaning the O2 tube was plugged into his throat)and large doses of prednisone. The person gets shakey and "strung out" from the prednisone and their cognition is clouded from lack of O2. Not to mention the fear when you cannot breathe and know that you have a noncurable disease that eventually leads to death. You are indeed a good neighbor to help her-and hopefully for her you continue to be that compassionate. Bless you!

Good on you for fixing it. I don't know much about COPD but I have first hand experience of Prednisolone. I can now only have very small amounts, and only when I desperately need it. A very dangerous drug used long-term. I was very badly affected when on a 'normal' dose, messed with my head something dreadful!
